Description

United Utilities are releasing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to fulfil all requirements relating to the 3rd party provision of Process Instrumentation Services across the Company’s estate. The Company operates an extensive range of asset types and manufacturers that requires a varied and flexible supply chain to support Company Personnel in the event of a competency or capacity shortfall. All aspects of Instrumentation Services shall be within scope of this procurement, including but not limited to: servicing, repair, calibration, verification and commissioning. This DPS shall serve as the only route for 3rd party unsupported Services (i.e. Services with no CDM Regulations) in the Instrumentation category.

Total Quantity or Scope

A DPS has been selected to enable each scope of Services to reflect the changing requirements of the business, selecting the most appropriate Contractor for the specific work package by using targeted specifications. The scope of Services of each requirement may include any aspect of reactive repair or planned maintenance of Instrumentation across the Company’s treatment facilities. This will potentially include all Instrument EGI classes and any form of maintenance, typically: servicing, calibration, verification, repair and commissioning. Each Individual Contract shall be released through a single Lot, meaning every Contractor who has passed to Stage 2 shall be notified of the requirement. In order to provide an indication of the type of Services that shall be put to competition through this DPS, the four primary areas of Services have been detailed below. • Repair Services: reactive Services to repair or refurbish Instruments. • Specialist Equipment Services: completion of Services on asset classes where Company Personnel do not possess the required competencies. • Supplementary Services: auxiliary Services resulting from Company resource gaps. • Project Services: initiatives that require short term additional resource that cannot be met internally. In order to maximise the flexibility of the DPS, each Contract Award shall vary in duration, ranging from a single scope of activity (e.g. 10 flowmeter calibrations at Ulpha WTW) up to 24 month ‘mini-frameworks’ (e.g. 24 month reactive repair of flowmeters in Wastewater North).
