Description
The Procurement Act 2023 does not apply to water supply options. Thames Water Utilities Ltd is keen however to ensure maximum publicity for its requirements and that the process is open to competition. Thames Water Utilities Ltd does not undertake by this notice or otherwise that it will comply with the Procurement Act 2023 in relation to water supply options. Any suppliers who wish to respond to this notice must request an initial Preliminary Screening Survey (PSQ1) by using the contact details available at https://www.thameswater.co.uk/about-us/suppliers/procurement. You will need to indicate whether you are proposing a water supply or demand management/leakage services solution. Thames Water Utilities Ltd retains the right not to review any unrequested material. Failure of a bidder to provide the required information, make a satisfactory response to any question, or supply notice referred to in its response to this survey or any clarification within the specified timescale may mean that the bidder will not be invited to participate further in this process. Third parties may contact Thames Water at the above address at any time to register their interest, however the proposal may at Thames Water's discretion be considered for inclusion within the WRMP34 process rather than the WRMP29 process, depending on the point in the process at which the proposal is received. Proposals which are clearly beneficial, robust and which are smaller in terms of volume of water delivered (Ml/d) are more likely to be considered for inclusion in our programme sooner in the planning process. At the qualification stage, registered applicants who are proposing water resources solutions may either qualify individually or as part of a consortium/joint venture with other registered applicants. This notice does not preclude Thames Water Utilities Ltd or its associated companies (subsidiaries, sister, parent companies, etc.) from issuing other procurements within the scope of supply or services covered by this notice from time to time. Unless specifically stated otherwise, Thames Water Utilities Ltd shall not be responsible for any costs, charges or expenses incurred by applicants and does not accept liability for any costs, charges or expenses incurred by applicants, irrespective of the outcome of any process, or if any process is cancelled or postponed. Thames Water Utilities Ltd reserves the right to terminate any process (or part of it) at any time. Thames Water Utilities Ltd reserves the right to procure any of the services or supplies referred to in this notice separately. Note that your client may be Thames Water Utilities Ltd or another company within the Kemble Water group structure.
