Description

Delivering Northumbrian Water Group's (NWG) AMP8 programme 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 build this roadmap has already commenced with the award of framework agreements for professional services contracts which lay the foundations for our new supply chain ecosystem (https://www.nwg.co.uk/news-and-media/news-releases/partners-appointed-to-support...). This new model includes the creation of an 'Enterprise' approach, governed by shared vision and values with joint incentivisation driving the investment from the initial needs to the desired outcome. As part of this we do see the transformation as a collaborative process and we now want to speak with Design and Construction organisations to discuss our approach and plans for AMP8 and get feedback on how you can influence and shape our supply chain strategy to ensure our delivery process delivers maximum value. NWL would specifically like to speak to design and construct organisations who have experience of working in similar collaborative delivery models (with an embedded client), how they deliver value at each handover stage; from needs to outcome delivery, the commercial models and incentives used, how you align delivery of cost/time/quality with low carbon (PAS2080 and creating a PAS2080 supply chain), biodiversity net gain and building a fit for purpose workforce with the right people with the right skillset and nature to deliver under a model of this type. In addition, to deal with the scale of our upcoming programme, our emerging delivery model aims to provide flexibility to work with partners at all levels of the supply chain, from multi-nationals to regional specialists. Our objective being to create long term sustainable business relationships which enable mutual success through collaboration, with meaningful incentives aligned to our business objectives. We would like to hear from organisations who feel they could bring value to our AMP8 plan which is heavily focused around: • Water Resources Management Plan (e.g. supply schemes, metering, water efficiency, leakage, reservoir safety) • Water Industry National Environmental Plan (e.g Storm Overflows, Nutrient Neutrality, Chemical/Nutrient monitoring etc) • Nature Based Solutions (blue/green engineering, catchment management etc) Our framework lot structure is not yet defined and will be informed by the feedback we receive from the market, along with our PR24 plan content. As such, understanding suppliers' capabilities in different services across our operating regions will be a key part of these discussions.
