Notice Title

Scaffolding Services

Notice Description

We require scaffolding services across the whole Thames Water region to provide safe access to assets so that TWUL and/or our contractors can carry out repair and maintenance activities. We will have award to multiple suppliers where, if spend is under PS4K or it is an emergency requirement (due to reactive nature of the work), one supplier will be appointed by direct award geographically (South London, North London and Thames Valley). Any works deemed to be close to or exceed PS4K will trigger a mini competition amongst all 3 suppliers. We will award one supplier per area for sub-PS4K works. Please note that regardless of what area you are successful in, you are required to bid and undertake work over PS4K in any region.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Scaffolding is essential to our business and we are keen to work with capable, responsive and safe suppliers in order to ensure that we can continue to offer life's essential service.

We and our partners use scaffolding extensively across the Thames Water region on all types of buildings and assets, including Combined Heat Powered engines, pumps, inlet screens, digester tanks, storm tanks, generators, towers, pipe work and assets in the SPG (Sludge Powered Generators) such as incinerator internal structure, caustic lifting beams etc.
