two.2.4) Description of the procurement
Anglian Water are looking to appoint a Programme Delivery Partner (PDP) to support the delivery of its business plans over the next 15 years including, but not limited to, its Investment Programme and Strategic Resource Options (SROs).
The awarded framework will be available to Anglian Water Group Limited and its associated companies.
The anticipated duration of the framework is approximately 15 years, with a break provision exercisable by Anglian Water ahead of the start of AMP9 (2030) and AMP10 (2035).
Anglian Water's PR24 business plan shows a considerable ramping up of capital expenditure over AMP8 and AMP9 before levelling off in AMP10 (years 2025 to 2040). That increase in scale is to be achieved by delivering bigger more complex projects in greater numbers, with a significant volume through new delivery mechanisms such as Direct Procurement for Customers (DPC) and Specified Infrastructure Projects (SIPR).
Delivering that increase in volume and complexity will require the PDP and Anglian Water to operate in a fully integrated team with Anglian Water relying on the PDP to provide the necessary capacity while also supporting the development of Anglian Water's management capabilities. The PDP will therefore have a critical role in the successful navigation of this transitional period and any change in partner midway through the 15 years would cause disruption and introduce an avoidable risk.
The agreement resulting from this procurement is for a strategic partner working alongside Anglian Water as it develops over the next 3 regulatory funding cycles and the programme delivery partner will play a critical role in the successful development of our management capabilities. The collaborative and integrated nature of the agreement would not be effective under a shorter time period.
Anglian Water are looking for leading expertise within the key disciplines outlined below (and detailed within the procurement documents) to support the management of the Anglian Water Investment Programme through AMP8, AMP9 and AMP10.
The successful tenderer will need to demonstrate extensive experience in portfolio, programme and project management to enable it to support and manage the delivery of major complex infrastructure programmes within a regulated environment and under UK planning legislation. Currently that includes the delivery of the SRO reservoirs major programme comprising two new major projects involving the creation of new reservoirs and their associated infrastructure in Cambridgeshire (the Fens Reservoir) and Lincolnshire (the Lincs Reservoir).
The PDP framework scope covers portfolio, programme and project management and is likely to comprise, but is not limited to, the following high-level service categories:
Portfolio Management Office
• Portfolio, Programme and Project management
• Continuous improvement
• Management of health, safety and wellbeing
• Systems planning
• Portfolio, programme and Project performance baselining and reporting
• Planning control and outcome modelling
• Risk management
• Regulatory reporting
Programme Controls and Governance
• Portfolio, Programme and Project controls
• Cost planning and estimating
• Change management
• Schedule management
• Quality management
Pre-enabling
• Design, design management and feasibility
• Stakeholder engagement support services
• Land and property support services
• Planning and consenting services
Pre-delivery
• Construction planning and enabling
• Engineering and design assurance services
• Engineering, commissioning and integration
• Environmental and ecological management services
• Management of enabling services
Delivery
• Contract management and administration
• Commercial management
• Interface management and systems integration
• Delivery management
• Assurance
• Benefits evaluation
Other Services
• Procurement strategy and execution support
• Commercial and regulatory support
• Organisational transformation support
• Delivery strategy development support
When providing the PDP services the successful tenderer will interface with several other existing Anglian Water partners.
Anglian Water works with several partners, including other water companies, to develop and deliver its major programmes and major projects, the SRO reservoirs projects being current examples of the latter. Depending on the commercial and procurement strategies for delivery of those projects Anglian Water may transfer or novate the benefit and burden of call-off contracts awarded under this Framework Agreement to:
• any funder, security trustee or security holder without consent of the Consultant; and
• any other person with the consent of the Consultant, such consent is not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Anglian Water intends to award the first call-off contracts immediately following the award of the framework.
All interested parties who wish to compete for this opportunity must complete and return an RFI (Request for Interest) response in accordance with the requirements of the RFI. The RFI responses will be used to determine which applicants best satisfy the selection criteria and which applicants will progress to the next stage of the procurement process.
