Short description of the contract or purchase(s):: This contract notice relates to the provision of works and services for mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, controls and automation (MEICA Works and Services) for the Thames Tideway Tunnel Project (the Project).
The MEICA Works and Services will be undertaken in London, UK across circa 24 sites from Acton in the West to Abbey Mills in the East, along and underneath the River Thames and connecting with the Lee Tunnel (currently under construction).
The London Tideways Improvements (of which the Thames Tideway Tunnel and the Lee Tunnel form a part) will modernise London’s sewerage system, delivering environmental and economic benefits to the UK’s capital for generations. The Thames Tideway Tunnel is a major new sewer to be designed and constructed to help manage the problem of untreated sewage overflowing from the capital’s sewers via combined sewer overflows (CSOs) and is intended (once constructed) to enable the UK to meet the requirements of the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive when operated in conjunction with the Lee Tunnel.
The Project comprises:
– wastewater sewers and tunnels;
– design, construction, commissioning, operation, financing and maintenance of the main tunnel and connection tunnels;
– CSO drop shafts, short connection tunnels and associated development to intercept flows and divert them in to the main tunnel or connection tunnels;
– works to modify Thames Water’s existing pumping stations and sewers;
– associated development to facilitate construction of the tunnels and shafts; and
– such other works and/or services as are necessary to deliver Thames Tideway Tunnel Project as more fully described in the Invitation to Tender (ITT) including any variations to the Project Specification agreed from time to time with Ofwat and/or the Secretary of State and/or Thames Water Utilities Limited.
