As the buying organisation, United Utilities is seeking strategic partners for Engineering and Programme Management roles due to potential capacity issues with their current providers. This procurement spans multiple engineering disciplines as outlined in two distinct lots: Engineering Resources and Programme Management & Commercial Resources. The procurement stage currently involves an updated tender process, with the tender title being "Services-DPS-Engineering, Programme Management & Commercial Resources", and the contractual period is set to last eight years. The location of activities is primarily in Warrington, UK, under the region UKD, and the procurement process follows a restricted procedure method, ensuring selectiveness in the vendor selection process. The significant amendment extends certain procedural deadlines through 2030, ensuring dynamic engagement over a prolonged term. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specializing in various engineering disciplines, including those capable of delivering expertise in process, mechanical, electrical, civil engineering, and more. Firms with capabilities in programme management, construction supervision, and quantity surveying will find particular opportunities within this DPS framework. As the DPS is supplementary, agile firms could address potential volume and capacity gaps from existing partners, aligning strategically with United Utilities' expansion and operational efficiency aims. Businesses striving to grow in engineering services, programme management, and commercial resource provisioning should consider this tender, given the projected capital outlay of £16 million and a well-defined scope that encourages cross-discipline expertise. ## Notice The company engages a strategic partner as an Engineering Service Provider (ESP), whom provides Engineering Resources as required, and a Programme Management Office Service Provider (PMO), whom provides Programme Management & Commercial Resources as required. However on occasion the ESP &/or PMO is unable to meet all of the company's requirements due to volume of requirements and capacity issues. A Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) will be utilised to provide an alternative route to securing such requirements in the event of the ESP/PMO being unable to support a specific request or requirement. All usage of the DPS will be supplementary and only when the ESP/PMO route is unavailable. ### Lot Information Lot 1 - Engineering Resources Resource orders & project based works packages Resource order for single or multi resources, requirement to cover multiple engineering disciplines.
