Summary of the contracting process

Southern Water Services Ltd. has completed the procurement process for its AMP8 capital programme, which is set to be the largest investment endeavour the company has ever undertaken. Targeting the industry category of construction work, particularly civil engineering, the procurement will cover Sussex, Kent, Hampshire, and the Isle of Wight regions. Under a negotiated procurement method with prior call for competition, the process included selective tendering. The AMP8 regulatory period runs from April 2025 to March 2030, and the frameworks established will provide continuity into the potential AMP9 period. The contracts signed on 1st September 2024, now awarded and active, include notable suppliers Clancy Docwra Limited, Barhale Limited, United Living Infrastructure Services, J Browne Construction Limited, and Morrisons Water Services Limited, with total contract values reaching £70 million to £96.7 million per supplier.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in civil engineering and construction, particularly those specialising in infrastructure for water and wastewater systems. With a focus on routine asset replacement, sustainable solutions, and low carbon technologies, the tender is aimed at contractors that can provide comprehensive engineering and construction management services. SMEs and large-scale enterprises capable of delivering low complexity infrastructure projects, including site surveys, streetworks, and commissioning, will find this an expansive opportunity to secure long-term contracts and demonstrate their expertise, thus contributing to the sustainable development goals set by Southern Water. The framework's accommodation for collaboration and the option for extension into AMP9 ensures that successful suppliers can maintain a steady workflow and foster enduring partnerships.

Notice Description

Southern Water Services (SWS) is anticipating that AMP8 will be the largest investment programme it has ever undertaken, given its plans for WINEP and WRMP, and the service it is seeking to deliver for customers. SWS now wishes to secure a range of supply chain partners for the delivery of its AMP8 capital programme. The AMP8 regulatory period will run from April 2025 to March 2030. The current frameworks used for engineering, design and construction services have been in place for almost 10 years and expire on 31st March 2025. In procuring new frameworks, we are seeking to build on positive changes made in AMP7, but also to look beyond AMP8 and take important steps to reflect supplier feedback, moving towards excellence in all that we do. The new arrangements will offer the option of running for AMP9. In parallel to this procurement process, Southern Water is working up its plans for PR24 - including working with our regulators and stakeholders to confirm the investment that will be available, and the capital delivery projects that will need to be undertaken. The PR24 process will benefit from having the AMP8 supply chain in place to assist with ongoing planning and transition to AMP8. A collaborative framework will be established to deliver low complexity infrastructure design and build schemes. The framework will have 2 lots one for water and wastewater. A framework for Non-Infrastructure works has already been established for the remainder of AMP 7 and 8. The Partner shall work with the Client to provide engineering capability and expertise to: Identify and develop options in accordance with the Client's technical and engineering standards for all aspects of Water and Wastewater systems.
