Description

Southern Water is planning to deliver a construction project to provide long-term water supply resilience to Hampshire. Southern Water will utilise a Competitively Appointed Provider (CAP) to deliver the project which is to be procured using Ofwat’s new Direct Procurement for Customers (DPC) approach. Southern Water is looking to test the market's interest for the Design, Build, Financing, Maintenance and Operation of the project.

Total Quantity or Scope

Hampshire faces water shortages due to climate change and growing population pressures. New water sources are necessary today and in the future to protect Hampshire’s sensitive chalk stream rivers and their delicate ecosystems, while maintaining vital water supplies for a growing population. Southern Water’s Water for Life Hampshire (WfLH) programme will create greater water resilience, especially during dry weather and drought. Several options for a solution are being explored, with a preferred option using water recycling and water transfer methods being chosen for further development. The CPV codes set out in this Periodic Indicative Notice (PIN) are included to give an indication of the likely scope of works and services. Southern Water does not guarantee that all activities referenced by the CPV codes will form part of any future contract notice(s), nor is the list exhaustive of all activities which may be included in any procurement process under this project. Under a DPC model, Southern Water will competitively tender for a competitively appointed provider (CAP). Southern Water is carrying out several market engagement exercises to support this procurement. As part of the programme outlined, Southern Water would also like to get market insight on long lead items which are critical to the programme. These long lead items include pipeline and pipe requirements. Market Engagement will take the form of a virtual Launch day on 16th February 2022, followed by a series of virtual one to one meetings between February 2022 and April 2022 via Microsoft Teams and Webex. Southern Water is using an electronic tendering portal (BRAVO) which can be found at https:// southernwater.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.html If you would like to book a virtual one to one meeting slot or to attend the virtual Launch day, please register and log onto the portal to download further information on the programme and the registration details. It is free to register on the portal, which can be accessed at any time of day. Should you have any problems registering on the portal, you should contact BRAVO by Email: help@bravosolution.co.uk or by phone 0800 069 8630 Further Market Engagement phases will be held throughout 2022 and 2023. Consequently, suppliers who miss the launch of the market engagement are nevertheless encouraged to contact Southern Water by emailing Charles.kirabo@southernwater.co.uk Additional information: The £459m contract value is currently an estimate and subject to change. It is made up of £404m capex and £55m opex, totalling £459m totex over the DPC contract term.
