This procurement is situated in the water supply industry and covers the whole of the Thames Water region in the United Kingdom. Interested parties should note that the invitation to tender (PIN) was published on 6th April 2022, and the future notice date indicates that ongoing communication will occur post-7th April 2022. Suppliers wishing to participate must submit a pre-qualification survey, expressing whether they are proposing a water supply or demand management solution, yet submission to this PIN does not guarantee contract award without further tender processes under the UCR16 framework. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in water supply solutions, demand management strategies, and leakage services, particularly for SMEs or firms experienced in environmental resource management. Innovative companies with capabilities in sustainable water practices may find this a valuable occasion to expand their market presence. Interested parties should prepare to showcase how their proposals can meet the evolving water resource needs of Thames Water Utilities Limited, leveraging the established Bid Assessment Framework to ensure transparency and fair competition throughout the selection process. ## Notice This PIN is issued to encourage third parties to submit proposals for solutions covering water resources, demand management or leakage services for Thames Water Utilities Ltd for consideration in the Water Resources Management Plan (WRMP24) process. These solutions will help us meet our future water needs and will be evaluated according to the bid assessment framework principles. ### Lot Information Lot 1 This notice relates to the Future Water Resource Requirements for South East England (March 2020) (FWRR) issued by Water Resources South East (WRSE). This notice enables third parties who are interested in responding to the FWRR with solutions for Thames Water Utilities Ltd specifically. All third parties who express an interest to respond to this PIN will be treated in accordance with the principles within Thames Water Utilities Ltd's Bid Assessment Framework (BAF); this is available openly on our website www.thameswater.co.uk/baf. The BAF provides clarity to third parties regarding how bids will be assessed in line with our key principles of transparency, equal treatment, non-discrimination and proportionality. Encouraging third parties to submit bids for solutions covering water resources, demand management and leakage services that create value for customers is very important to Thames Water Utilities Ltd. Thames Water Utilities Ltd has provided further details about its future supply requirements in its Water Resources Management Plan 19 and associated Water Resources Market Information tables. This information is complemented by the future water resource requirements published by WRSE, which describes Thames Water Utilities Ltd's future supply requirements as in WRMP19 with further forecasting concerning the effects of climate change and environmental requirements amongst other factors. This is used to communicate Thames Water Utilities Ltd's (and the South East region's) supply requirements as part of the regional WRMP24 planning process for the South East. WRSE will be updating this information as part of the regional planning process. Further details of Thames Water Utilities Ltd's supply area, its existing water resources system, customers and the current and forecast water demand are given on its website at: https://www.thameswater.co.uk/about-us/regulation/water-resources. This notice should also be read in conjunction with our network access code and trading and procurement code. Water supply proposals. We are open to proposals for supply options to fill our projected supply demand deficit as we plan for the future. We are under no obligation to contract as a result of this engagement. The process for how third parties will be assessed including evaluation questions and criteria can be found in our BAF referenced above. To register your interest, please visit https://www.thameswater.co.uk/procurement. Demand and leakage services proposals The WRMP process is a strategic process to plan demand management and leakage solutions over an 80 year period to meet our future needs rather than a procurement exercise for these solution types. If a third party proposal for a demand management or leakage service is a product or service that we already deliver, we are open to being contacted to inform our market awareness, but to be considered for delivery, third parties should contact Thames Water Utilities Ltd when we next engage with the market for this specific need. If the proposal is not covered by our current activity, we would be open to hearing the proposal in response to this PIN - third parties should get in touch via https://www.thameswater.co.uk/procurement. Please note that an approach made via this PIN will not result in a contract being awarded under any circumstances; a subsequent UCR16 tender process would need to be undertaken to award a contract for such a need. This PIN is, in the case of demand and leakage services, solely notice of a market engagement exercise as described in our BAF referenced above, and this remains the case even where third parties proposing demand management or leakage services participate in the WRMP process. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/009237-2022 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Apr 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 6 Apr 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | 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 | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THAMES WATER UTILITIES LIMITED | | Locality | READING | | Post town | Reading | | Postcode | RG1 8DB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ16 Berkshire West | | Local authority | Reading | | Electoral ward | Thames | | Westminster constituency | Reading Central | | Delivery location | TLI London, TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 41 - Collected and purified water - 60 - Transport services (excl.
