Thames Water intends to award Framework Agreement(s) for the supply Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) that are used across both our waste and clean water operations. The scope will include rigids, artics, clean water tankers, waste tankers, tippers, trailers, curtainsiders, dropsides, beavertails, etc, and will cover any current vehicle specs we have in our HGV fleet, along with any alternative specs we might want over the life of the agreement, including electric and alternative-fuel options. The framework will be split into lots to cover the different vehicle types, as well as purchase and lease options. Each Lot will be awarded to multiple suppliers, with mini competitions then run for each order between all the successful suppliers on the framework agreement for the different vehicle requirements. Our key priority is to minimise VOR and operational downtime to limit any impact to our customers.
Lot 1a covers the purchase of HGVs below 18T, including rigid trucks and the required tanker or body/trailer (including clean water tankers, waste tankers, tippers, trailers, curtainsiders, dropsides, beavertails, etc). Lot 1a will be awarded to multiple suppliers, with mini competitions then run for each order between all the successful suppliers on the framework agreement for the different vehicle requirements. The successful supplier from each mini competition shall act as the primary contractor to supply the complete vehicle, manage the entire order and build process, liaise with the awarded suppliers from Lots 2a or 2b, manage all communications to Thames Water, deliver the complete vehicle, and provide an R&M package where required.
Lot 1b covers the purchase of HGVs 18T and above, including rigid trucks, articulated tractor units and the required tanker or body/trailer (including clean water tankers, waste tankers, tippers, trailers, curtainsiders, dropsides, beavertails, etc). Lot 1b will be awarded to multiple suppliers, with mini competitions then run for each order between all the successful suppliers on the framework agreement for the different vehicle requirements. The successful supplier from each mini competition shall act as the primary contractor to supply the complete vehicle, manage the entire order and build process, liaise with the awarded suppliers from Lots 2a or 2b, manage all communications to Thames Water, deliver the complete vehicle, and provide an R&M package where required.
Lot 2a covers the supply of tankers (including clean water tankers and waste tankers) to either the awarded suppliers from Lots 1a or 1b (where they are acting as primary contractor), or to Thames Water directly (for any standalone requirements where no chassis or Lot 1a or 1b supplier is required). Lot 2a will be awarded to multiple suppliers, with mini competitions then run for each order between all the successful suppliers on the framework agreement for the different vehicle requirements. The successful supplier from each mini competition shall supply the required tanker, liaise with the awarded suppliers from Lots 1a or 1b, deliver the completed tanker, and provide an R&M package where required.
Lot 2b covers the supply of bodies or trailers (including tippers, trailers, curtainsiders, dropsides, beavertails, etc) to either the awarded suppliers from Lots 1a or 1b (where they are acting as primary contractor), or to Thames Water directly (for any standalone requirements where no chassis or Lot 1a or 1b supplier is required). Lot 2b will be awarded to multiple suppliers, with mini competitions then run for each order between all the successful suppliers on the framework agreement for the different vehicle requirements. The successful supplier from each mini competition shall supply the required body or trailer, liaise with the awarded suppliers from Lots 1a or 1b, deliver the completed body or trailer, and provide an R&M package where required.
