Integrated Partnerships Framework

Lot 1 is intended to support the delivery of pipelaying and network rehabilitation activities associated with below-ground water and wastewater infrastructure assets across Northern Ireland. Activities may include the design, investigation, installation, renewal, repair, rehabilitation, testing and commissioning of water distribution mains, wastewater sewers, rising mains, communication pipes and associated network assets. Typical project values are expected to range from £0 million to £3 million.

Lot 2 is intended to support the delivery of civil engineering works across infrastructure and non-infrastructure assets where the principal delivery requirements are civil in nature. Activities may include the design, construction, refurbishment, testing and commissioning of tanks, chambers, reservoirs, pumping station civil works, treatment works civil infrastructure, building works and associated civil engineering activities. Typical project values are expected to range from £0 million to £10 million.

Lot 3 is intended to support the delivery of MEICA-driven projects undertaken within operational water and wastewater treatment, pumping and process environments. Activities may include the design, manufacture, installation, integration, testing, commissioning, optimisation and replacement of mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, control and automation systems, together with associated process engineering activities. Typical project values are expected to range from £0 million to £10 million.

Lot 4 is intended to support the delivery of large-scale, high-value and complex capital investment projects requiring integrated civil, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, control, automation and process engineering capabilities. Typical projects may include the planning, design, construction, refurbishment, installation, testing, commissioning and handover of major water and wastewater treatment works, pumping stations, service reservoirs, network infrastructure and other strategic capital projects. Typical project values are expected to exceed £1 million. Projects are generally anticipated to exceed £10 million, although projects between £1 million and £10 million may be awarded under this Lot where appropriate due to their scale, complexity or multidisciplinary requirements. Specific arrangements may apply to higher-value and more complex projects within this Lot. Call-off contracts may be awarded either following a competitive selection process between eligible Framework suppliers or, where permitted under the Framework, without further competition in accordance with the objective supplier selection mechanism specified in the Framework. The applicable selection process and allocation arrangements will be as set out in the Framework documentation.
