UK Public Sector Contracts & Tenders

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.

NI Water operates within an increasingly challenging environment marked by ageing infrastructure, tightening regulatory expectations, climate‑related pressures, and rising customer expectations around reliability and service quality. Leakage reduction is a core strategic priority with performance closely scrutinised by the Utility Regulator and NI Executive stakeholders. The current processes and systems used to manage leakage rely on disparate datasets, manual workflows, and legacy tools that limit NI Water’s ability to analyse, target, and manage leakage effectively. NI Water intends to procure the development of a replacement Leakage Management System (LMS), aligning with NI Water’s strategic objectives, by delivering modern, data‑driven leakage capability that enhances performance, improves insight, and strengthens operational and regulatory outcomes. The LMS will enable NIW‑bespoke reporting, targeting and data‑analytics to support operational decision‑making and long‑term water resource planning. It also provides flexibility through the ability to “bolt‑on” supplier modules as leakage best practice evolves, ensuring alignment with future operational and regulatory requirements. This contract will have an initial term of 5 year followed by 3 optional extensions of 3 years each.
