## Summary

Thames Water Utilities Limited is seeking to establish a comprehensive framework agreement titled "Lifecycle and Welfare" targeting enhanced building design, renovations, remedial tasks, and maintenance services such as welfare cabins provision. The procurement process is actively in the Tender stage, utilising a competitive flexible procedure, with the submission deadline for the Pre-Selection Questionnaire set for 16th January 2026 at 10 am. The initiative, with a total value of £175,040,000, involves categories spanning building construction, consultancy services, refurbishment, asbestos handling, and more. This project encompasses work locations in London, Thames Valley, and Home Counties, aiming to secure efficient, reliable services while ensuring safety standards across Thames Water’s infrastructure. The anticipated award period will conclude on 31st March 2026, with contract periods beginning from 1st April 2026 to extend up to eight years.

This tender represents substantial business growth opportunities for suppliers experienced in multidisciplinary construction, refurbishment, and maintenance projects. Suitable candidates may include firms specialising in building design and renovation, roofing, asbestos consultancy and removal, and temporary accommodation solutions. The framework agreement will see multiple suppliers awarded for each lot, ensuring versatile and dynamic service delivery. Resultantly, smaller specialised firms and large construction entities alike can benefit from the structured, staged award of multi-discipline work packages under the framework, where projects could be awarded through mini-competitions or direct awards for works under £100,000.
