Status Details
Thames Water Utilities Limited (TWUL), acting as a private utility, is voluntarily publishing this Procurement Termination Notice to inform the market that it has decided not to proceed with the award of the Teddington Direct River Abstraction (TDRA) Tunnelling Main Works Contract (MWC). Whilst private utilities are not required to publish a Procurement Termination Notice under Section 55 of the Procurement Act 2023, TWUL is publishing this notice voluntarily in the interests of transparency and to provide market certainty. Following further design development, technical assessments, site investigations and stakeholder engagement, TWUL has reviewed its procurement strategy for delivery of the TDRA project. As a result of that review, TWUL has concluded that the project should be delivered through a single consolidated Main Works Contract incorporating both the tunnelling works and the tertiary treatment plant (TTP) works. The revised approach materially differs from the procurement structure originally advertised and, accordingly, TWUL has decided to discontinue the current procurement and commence a new procurement process. TWUL currently anticipates commencing a new procurement process for a single consolidated TDRA Main Works Contract towards the end of 2026. Reason for the Change: Following ongoing design development, technical assessments and stakeholder feedback, a number of updates have been made to the project design. As a result of this work, we've refined our procurement strategy and will now deliver the project through a single construction package. The change in the way we are procuring contractors for the project is a result of design development and technical assessments, which means we want to take a different approach to help manage construction risk in a live operational environment like Mogden Sewage Treatment Works. These changes have improved the scheme's safety, viability and operability, whilst also reducing potential impacts on local communities and the surrounding environment. The single consolidated package approach will allow for: • A single party to own the phasing and logistics of the construction stage, which is partly located in a constrained area of an operational site. • Manage interfaces between critical assets that were in close proximity to each other. • Allows the Contractor to own the design with more independence, providing the flexibility to make decisions for the best of the project without having to manage proposed Contractor change through a multi-party change and baseline/design acceptance process. • Reduce requirement for Client oversight and approval. • Greater commercial certainty between all parties: including single programme, float management, cross contract exposure removed, simplified governance, clarity in defects/liabilities. • Construction Design & Management (CDM) Regulation compliance simplified and aligned to best practice.
