Works-Framework-Digital Services-Monitoring & Control, Design & Build

The scope and scale of the works will vary from simple ICA installations through to large complex design and build projects. DS M&C scope of delivery will range from first time install to upgrade, development, integration and optimisation of existing M&C infrastructure. Small Projects (value<250K) Projects will be of varied value and complexity; typically, projects will be ICA in scope but may include minor elements of Electrical/Mechanical/Civil works. A small number of projects may be more reactive in nature and therefore suppliers will need to demonstrate agility and flexibility to respond to these needs. There may be a number of projects where there is a requirement to work across multiples sites and locations. Typical projects will include: • Replacement of a single PLC or replacement of a site communications network • Installation of an additional instrument on a Water / Wastewater Treatment works and integration into the site control system • Installation and testing of a new communications panel and associated infrastructure on operational sites • Installation and commissioning of a new telemetry outstation Large Projects (value>£250K) Where projects are of a large value and more complex, these will typically require multi-discipline delivery teams including minor civils works, and will typically, be over £250k and could be in excess of £1m. Projects could be single site large-scale installation and will demand a high level of project management capability. Typical projects will include: • Single site complex projects such as replacing the control system infrastructure (multiple PLCs, site SCADA etc.) and managing the associated interfaces on a critical Water / Wastewater Treatment works. • Large scale rollout across multiple sites of additional instrumentation including integration into each site’s control system and coordination of testing critical control changes across impacted sites • Critical regulatory date driven projects where high levels of project management will be required to meet the commitments agreed with our regulators Desired Competencies Categories within the Table below are the expected competencies of framework partners supporting delivery of DS M&C projects. They have been differentiated into core/technology capabilities and are not fixed; some flexibility is expected. Suitable respondents to the resulting tender will demonstrate experience and competence in all core areas defined and some experience of the technology capabilities would be advantageous.
