What the buyer wants
Northern Ireland Water Limited is establishing the IF109 Integrated Partnerships Framework to support delivery of its capital investment programme across water and wastewater infrastructure. The framework covers four lots ranging from minor civil pipelaying to major civil, MEICA and process works, supporting a wide range of construction, engineering, design, commissioning and ancillary services.
The IF109 Framework is being established to support delivery of NI Water's capital investment programme and will succeed the existing IF105 Integrated Partnerships Framework, which is due to expire in May 2028. The Framework is intended to support delivery of the PC28 investment programme and future regulatory periods whilst securing the capacity, capability, flexibility, value for money and resilience required to deliver NI Water's future capital programme.
The IF109 Integrated Partnerships Framework will support a range of works and related services including programme and project management, design, engineering, construction, commissioning and other supporting or ancillary activities necessary to support the successful delivery of NI Water's capital investment programme.
The Framework is intended to support delivery of NI Water's future investment priorities, including regulatory compliance, service improvement, resilience enhancement, environmental performance and long-term sustainability objectives.
The IF109 Integrated Partnerships Framework comprises four Lots covering:
Lot 1 - Minor Civil Pipelaying Works
Lot 2 - Minor Civil Works
Lot 3 - Minor MEICA & Process Works
Lot 4 - Major Civil, MEICA & Process Works
Together, these Lots will support the delivery of projects ranging from small-scale network investment and rehabilitation activities through to large-scale, complex, multidisciplinary capital programmes across NI Water's water and wastewater asset base.
The Framework has been designed to support long-term delivery of NI Water's investment programme whilst providing the flexibility required to respond to evolving programme, funding and operational requirements throughout its duration.
The total framework value may be shared across all Lots.
How Tenderoo reads it
This is a framework agreement: a place on it puts you on the buyer's approved list, which they call work off from over the term. It is not a single job, and a small firm can hold a place alongside national suppliers.
The notice reads as suitable for a small or medium-sized firm: the scope, value and requirements are within reach of a business of that size.
