Southern Water are looking to transform their logistics capabilities to optimise the handling and
distribution of equipment and materials to and from engineers. We intend to deploy new
networks, operations and technology within warehousing, distribution and final mile services.
The aim is to improve SLA performance, enhance materials control and visibility and ultimately
reduce costs. We also are looking to future proof any solutions by leveraging technology to
maximise efficiency.
We are looking for partners that directly manage operations and/or technology and will support
Southern Water as a trusted supplier.
We are interested in suppliers that have clear evidenced experience managing logistics within
field environments and preferably within utility/water sectors.
We are seeking to gauge interest and advice from solution providers on the most effective
approach to way this might be achieved and a partner to co-create the final design of the end
solution.
If you provide warehousing & storage services for engineering or utilities sector businesses
please complete Questionnaire 1.
If you provide HGV distribution and transport services to transport engineering materials and
maintained assets (e.g. pumps) please complete Questionnaire 2.
If you provide final mile services to support engineers collecting and returning equipment
securely please complete Questionnaire 3.
If you provide technology solutions to support tagging and tracking of equipment and assets in
the field please complete Questionnaire 4.
Southern Water are looking to the market place to provide as much information as possible to
help us shape our project and any future tenders that may arise following this exercise. The
questionnaires are targeted to what we believe to be the different market elements required to
successfully deliver this project.
Please complete any or all questionnaires relevant to your organisation and respond via Bravo by
12:00 on the 30th June 2021.
Please limit the response length of each question to 250 words. Additional materials may be
