two.1.4) Short description
Delivering Northumbrian Water Limited's (NWL) AMP8 programme, and beyond, will require a step change in how we collaborate, manage risk and co-ordinate our capital investment. We have developed a clear vision and process for how we want to deliver our plan and our ambitious transformation programme to implement this roadmap has already commenced with the award of framework agreements for professional services contracts. These lay the foundations for our new supply chain landscape or 'Living Water Ecosystem'.
This award notice is in relation to the Living Water Enterprise. A separate notice for the Wider Ecosystem lots (FA08-02) will be published on completion of that procurement process.
The majority of NWL's complex long cycle programmes will be delivered by the Living Water Enterprise (LWE). It's a fully integrated, highly collaborative delivery vehicle which works seamlessly to achieve the best overall business outcomes.
The LWE will:
• Think and act as a single entity, focused on outcomes and mutual goals;
• Incentivise performance to make sure collective success is the priority, not financial returns for any individual party;
• Embed TOTEX principles across the LWE from the outset;
• Place Delivery Optimisation as one of its key priorities and will consider this at a programme level to so that we operate a best athlete principle rather than rigid supplier boundaries.
NWL have appointed a number of suppliers to the following lots:

Enterprise Lot A - Infrastructure (North East):
The Client has appointed Enterprise design & construct (D&C) Contractors in the Northumbrian Water operating area to deliver infrastructure projects across its capital investment programme. The Contractors will become partners as part of the Northumbrian Water Living Water Enterprise, working alongside other strategic partners to act as a single entity focused on outcomes and mutual goals placing optimised delivery as one of its key priorities. The Enterprise D&C partners will embrace collaboration, drive and promote best practice, engender an environment of continuous learning and improvement whilst efficiently delivering the investment portfolio across the region.
The scope of work includes design, construction and commissioning of new water and wastewater infrastructure assets, asset renewals, asset modifications and refurbishments.
It will involve programmes of investigation and delivery work by asset, work type, geography and / or by specialism. These programmes will involve mainly infrastructure works; and can be district to regional wide; multiple small to medium scale, MEICA and civil interventions; small groups of medium sized and / or medium complex projects and or an individual complex larger project. There will be throughout the duration of the Framework Agreement small, medium or large urgent or emerging issues of a more business critical nature which may need to be investigated and then delivered on an individual basis. The Enterprise D&C partner will perform a pivotal role in delivering Northumbrian Water's commitments under the Water Industry Environmental Programme (WINEP).
WINEP is a national programme for all the water only and water and wastewater companies. Work scope will include investigations, monitoring, options appraisals and projects to drive improvements and prevent deterioration and protect the water environment.
Scope of this framework may include and is not limited to:
Storm Overflow spill reductions to comply with new legislative requirements as translated into the government's storm overflow discharge reduction plan and Environment Agency WINEP guidance. The Clients PR24 plan is to improve priority overflows to meet 'harm' and public health targets. The scope will include but not be limited to the design and installation of singular & multiple solutions for:
• Surface water separation;
• Upsizing of combined sewers;
• Off-line and on-line underground tank solutions;
• Design and installation of nature-based solutions;
• Rainwise solutions working with the community, e.g., SUDS for schools, enhancing 'blue/ green' spaces;
• Installation of screening controls;
• Smart Network controls with multiple solution types.
Within the Clients PR24 Plan there is a requirement for monitoring programmes, the scope for this will include the design and installation of monitors on the permitted emergency overflows on the sewage network pumping stations.
Northumbria Integrated Drainage Partnership (NIDP) is a partnership approach to strategic drainage area planning in the Northeast. Candidate lists of projects are selected for the delivery of jointly funded studies that are agreed on an annual basis. Currently a 10-year programme is at mid-point. The scope will include delivery of design and construction of the projects selected and the Client's funding is based on benefits gained. Primary drivers for the outcomes are solutions to repeat sewer flooding, internal and external flooding incidents. There will be opportunities in NIDP for storm overflow spill reductions.
Other areas of scope may include but not be limited to:
• Flood alleviation and pollution remediation projects.
• Strategic water mains diversions
• Potable water service reservoir renewals and replacements programme
• Reservoir act compliance for Impounding reservoirs
