Description
Northern Ireland Water (NI Water) intends to undertake a procurement for the establishment of the IF109 Integrated Partnerships Framework (IF109). The future framework is being developed 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 is expected to 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 is currently expected to comprise four lots covering Minor Civil Pipelaying Works, Minor Civil Works, Minor MEICA & Process Works, and Major Civil, MEICA & Process Works. Together, these Lots are intended to 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.
NI Water is currently developing the procurement strategy, commercial model, lotting structure, appointment methodology, supplier allocation arrangements and delivery arrangements for the framework. Consequently, aspects of the future framework and procurement approach remain subject to further development and ongoing market engagement activities.
Indicative Programme and Key Activities:
NI Water will engage with the market throughout the development of the framework and prior to commencement of the procurement process. The current indicative programme is outlined below for information only and may be revised. NI Water may further refine its procurement programme over the coming months.
