Located in Birmingham and London, this procurement is at the Tender stage, with the tender period closing on 17 June 2022. The selected supplier will provide expertise in trade effluent appeals over a flexible three-year contract commencing 1 July 2022 and ending 30 June 2025. This open procurement method is designed to accommodate suppliers capable of adapting to various demands related to trade effluent consent conditions. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in wastewater management and environmental consultancy. Companies that can produce technical reports and offer ad-hoc advice on trade effluent matters will be particularly well-suited to compete. As the engagement requires discretion given the sensitivity of trade effluent appeals, firms with experience in handling official data and a solid understanding of regulatory frameworks will find themselves at an advantage in securing this contract. ## Notice To build resilience, we require two flexible contracts. This is largely to mitigate against suitable resources not being available or in case there are any actual or potential conflicts of interest that cannot be resolved. The objective of this tender process is to ensure that Ofwat has in place provision for the expertise and technical support needed in order to fulfil its statutory functions in respect of deciding trade effluent appeals. This will most likely take the form of the Supplier producing written reports which may include: - technical grounds and justification for trade effluent consent conditions in dispute; - recommendations as to whether trade effluent consent conditions are reasonable; and - if appropriate, recommended new trade effluent consent conditions. Any timescales for deliverables will be case specific. We will typically require a report to be provided first followed by any potential review of draft decision responses. The Customer may also require ad-hoc written and telephone advice on an informal basis on individual appeals. Further, any trade effluent appeal is considered OFFICIAL: SENSITIVE and, as such, discretion must be applied. The flexible ad hoc Services contract will be for 3 years from the date the contract commences. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5ef252fc-5d36-40f6-9bd2-47197489bc70 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 May 2022 | | Submission deadline | 17 Jun 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2022 - 30 Jun 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WATER SERVICES REGULATION AUTHORITY (OFWAT) | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B5 4UA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG31 Birmingham | | Local authority | Birmingham | | Electoral ward | Ladywood | | Westminster constituency | Birmingham Ladywood | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England), TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79723000 - Waste analysis services ## Release History - 24 May 2022 at 16:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5ef252fc-5d36-40f6-9bd2-47197489bc70 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5ef252fc-5d36-40f6-9bd2-47197489bc70 24th May 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAY164456 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://www.ofwat.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
