Notice Title

Wastewater Infrastructure Engineering Expertise and Technical Support

Notice Description

The objective of this tender process is to undertake a discrete first piece of work which must be completed by 30 March 2018. The work will provide the engineering expertise and technical support needed to review and summarise data and information relating to the management, operation and performance of relevant wastewater infrastructure - specifically Wastewater Treatment Works (WwTW) and to draw conclusions as to whether the data and information summarised suggests that the company operating those WwTW has (or not as the case may be) met its licence and statutory obligations. We may also then require ad-hoc follow up advice and support linked to and following the completion of the above described work during April and May 2018. Such ad-hoc follow up advice and support may be in the form of telephone or written advice but we are unable to confirm our exact requirements until the end of March 2018 at the earliest. Thus the contract will be for 4 months from commencement date to provide the flexibility should there be any delays for the follow on work.
