Strategic Waste Management · UK public procurement notice

Southern Water is looking for one primary supplier to provide all tankering needs (planned and reactive tankering) for their region. They will be the priority supplier for the region and will agree to meet the tanker needs within SLA. The supplier within this lot will be supported by secondary supplier(s) in Lot 4 as needed. See detail above, it is Southern Water’s intention to award to either Lots 1-4 or Lots 5-6.

The Services require the collection, transfer and dispose of liquid waste arising from water and wastewater operational processes .

The Supplier will be required to collect, transport, and disposal of liquid waste from and between Southern Water sites, however, it may be necessary to collect from or dispose at third party facilities. The Supplier is responsible for the following activities on a planned and reactive (emergency) basis 24 hours per day, 365 days per year.

The Supplier shall provide all forms of Wastewater flow management to effectively manage flows on Southern Water’s wastewater pumping stations and/or gravity sewer network and/or pressurised rising mains during incidents in order to prevent sewage entering the environment or flooding private and/or commercial properties. Supplier provides ancillary waste services (e.g. traffic management, incident management, supervisory capabilities etc.)

Regional coverage - The supplier will be primarily responsible for the Hampshire and the Isle of Wight region. Note the Southern Water operating regions are not entirely aligned to county borders with a small overlap into other counties and therefore the supplier may be required to operate in bordering counties. In addition, as needed (e.g. for large tankering events, for operational efficiency, when other Southern Water suppliers cannot provide the required capacity etc.) the supplier will be asked to operate in the other primary Southern Water regions (i.e. Sussex and Kent).
