The project spans over 400 sites within the London area, Thames Valley, and the Home Counties. This procurement activity is within the services category and follows a competitive flexible procedure, expected to commence with the issuance of the notice in early December 2025 and responses due by mid-January 2026. The agreement outlines consultancy services, internal and external building works, asbestos consulting and removal, as well as utility installations stretching from April 2026 to potentially 2034. This procurement process represents a valuable opportunity for firms specialising in construction, building services consultancy, asbestos management, and welfare unit provision. Businesses capable of delivering high-quality service in project design, building renovations, asbestos treatment, and modular building installations are particularly well-suited for this contract. Additionally, companies looking to expand their service footprint within the UK regions, particularly London and surrounding areas, will find this an advantageous avenue for growth. The framework allows for multiple awards per lot, ensuring diverse participation and providing a pathway for long-term partnerships with Thames Water, enhancing business visibility and project portfolio. ## Notice Thames Water wishes to award a number of framework agreements to suppliers capable of project design, building renovations, remedial works and/or the provision and maintenance of welfare cabins. Due to the varying age of buildings and structures within the Thames Water estate (over 400 sites across the TW supply area), there is need to carry out renovation and remedial works in order to ensure they remain safe and fit for purpose. The Framework Agreements will cover the following works: Consultancy (Project Design), Internal & External Works to operational and corporate buildings (London area), Internal & External Works to operational and corporate buildings (Thames Valley and Home Counties), Roofing, Asbestos Consulting, Asbestos Treatment and Welfare Cabins.

Thames Water reserve the right to enter into a contract or contracts for the provision of all or any number of lots. In parallel, although on a slightly different timetable, Thames Water is also running a procurement exercise for facilities management services whereby there are some common areas of work with this procurement exercise.
