The procurement is at the tender stage with a submission deadline of 22nd March 2024. Anglian Water is aiming to establish a framework with up to 15 suppliers across three specialist lots, offering opportunities for business growth in providing constructability advice for various projects within the Anglian Water business. This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in civil engineering consultancy services, particularly those experienced in constructability advice for water projects. The framework contract, with a duration of 2 years initially and potential extensions up to 5 years, requires expertise in critical review of design, market-based estimating, and sustainability initiatives. Businesses with capabilities in market intelligence, environmental mitigation, and construction planning may find this tender suitable for enhancing their growth prospects. ## Notice This notice is for the provision of constructability consultancy services. Anglian Water is looking to put in place a framework of up to 15 suppliers who can provide constructability advice for various projects within the Anglian Water business, including the Strategic Resource Options (SRO) Reservoir programme. The framework will be made up of three lots: 1) Civil engineering and earthworks 2) Pipelines 3) Water Treatment The full scoping document can be found within the Scanmarket link. ### Lot Information Civil Engineering and Earthworks We are looking to put in place a framework agreement with a maximum of 5 contractors per lot, who can provide constructability advice on a number of our projects, including the Strategic Resource Option (SRO) Reservoir programme. We have split the framework into three specialist lots. Lot 1 is for suppliers who can provide advice on civil engineering and earthworks. What we mean by civils engineering and earthworks is described below: All civils structures associated with the construction and operation of storage and service reservoirs for water supply, including dams, inlets, draw off facilities/outlet towers, pumping stations and emergency drawdowns and the construction of supporting infrastructure to enable the reservoir and wider development, including road construction, road improvements, rail heads, small ports and docks, aggregate/rock processing and handling facilities, quarrying, new service provision, existing service diversion and all construction logistics associated with the above. This will include for the excavation, transport, placement, and compaction of fill materials to construct earth structures, associated earthworks to optimise cut and fill balances, cutting of new waterways, dredging of existing waterways and raising or construction of flood embankments within the reservoir site area and along open channel transfers (existing waterways). While the scope of services may vary from project to project, some anticipated services include the following: * Critical review of design and assurance of constructability through to commissioning turnovers and to operations, including providing advice on buildability and construction sequence/ methodology and identification of temporary construction requirements. * Input into the selection of the preferred options for the key construction and building systems - structures, Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP), facades, etc to suit the supply chain, including materials, plant and equipment and bulk material storage, movement/transfer, and disposal. * Market-based estimating, construction planning and scheduling. * Provide advice on opportunities for Modern Methods of Construction (MMC)/ off-site fabrication/ modular building, etc. and quality control, assurance, and oversight methods. * Value management - provide advice on potential value engineering opportunities in the developing design. * Provide market intelligence on UK construction supply-chain pipelines and advise on construction and supply-chain risks relating to the proposals, including inflation and material shortages / long-lead items and impacts of early procure vs warrantees. This information can then be captured and shared within the wider AW business to be able to understand the supply chain landscape in terms of potential issues that could affect Anglian Water and opportunities. * Support with the identification of products, materials, methods, and initiatives to enable sustainability ambitions and targets to be realised, including zero carbon opportunities. * Environmental mitigation validation and optioneering. * Provide market intelligence and feedback on preferable contract types to adopt/use that will provide AW certainty and control over project constraints and outcomes. * Provide critical friend support (industry peer review) to major projects throughout the life span of the project. * Contributions to, and validation of, any planning-related documentation under the Town and Country Planning Act or the Development Consent Order process that requires construction input and critique, including but not limited to: a) Code of Construction Practice b) Construction Management Plan c) Construction Environmental Management Plan d) Traffic Management Plan e) Social impact strategy f) Sustainability Strategy Options: There will be an initial two-year fixed period for the framework. After the two years, Anglian Water may elect to extend the framework in whole or in part by three further periods of one year each or for any alternative periods and not expiring later than five years from the Effective Date.
