The procurement, titled "CWC23071 Technical Support - Engineering for Energy from Waste Plant Framework," targeted the services sector, specifically engineering-related scientific and technical services. This framework supports the provision of specialist engineering advice and technical support for the EFW plant, which came back under council operation in February 2023. The procurement followed an open procedure, with the call-offs expected to be worth up to £5 million over four years. Key partners include Cobalt Energy, Ficthner Consulting Engineers Ltd, and Stantec UK Ltd, who will provide services across different engineering disciplines in the region of UKG39, centered in Wolverhampton. This framework offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in mechanical, electrical, civil, and environmental engineering. The direct awards or competitive calls within the framework allow companies to demonstrate their expertise and gain valuable experience and financial returns from working on complex EFW plant operations. Small and medium enterprises, particularly those with prior experience in specialised engineering services for energy plants, would find this framework an advantageous opportunity to establish or grow their footprint in the public procurement landscape, especially given the framework's notable budget and four-year duration for steady project engagements. ## Notice The Wolverhampton Energy from Waste (EFW) plant is owned by the council, and came back into council operation in February 2023 following a 25 year Operate & Maintain (O&M) contract operation by a third party contractor. The plant was refurbished in the 1990's prior to the commencement of the 25 year O&M contract which ceased in February 2023. Availability of the plant is largely good, although there are on occasion unplanned outages. As operation and maintenance of EfW plants is highly technical, the council is seeking to develop a call off framework with suppliers who can assist it with specialist technical engineering support and advice as and when required. The suppliers included on the framework shall have demonstrable experience of providing specialist engineering advice and support on Energy from Waste plants.in all areas including : Mechanical Engineering; Electrical Engineering; Civil Engineering and Environmental Engineering. The Framework will be essentially a select list of service providers, which will allow for either Direct Awards or Further Competition. The intention is to appoint a maximum of 3 organisations onto the Framework. If more than 3 competent and experienced organisations submit a bid, then the 3 highest scoring bidders will be placed on the framework. The Framework Agreement will be in place for 4 Years. While there is no guarantee of any work coming from being on this framework. The Council have set an overall value of call offs from this Framework which will be up to PS5 million. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Wolverhampton Energy from Waste (EFW) plant is owned by the council, and came back into council operation in February 2023 following a 25 year Operate & Maintain (O&M) contract operation by a third party contractor.
