Scope:

The steel fabrication services framework includes general steel fabrication and covers wide and diverse areas and asset bases including the following:

• Operational Sites eg Sewage and Water Treatment Works, Pumping Stations, Reservoir Sites
• Office and Laboratory Buildings (low probability of works on these sites but there may be an adhoc requirement)
• Leisure Facilities eg Kielder and Hanningfield Reservoirs

The main work disciplines/work types are general steel fabrication services including the design, supply, manufacture, fabrication, galvanising, delivery, offloading, distribution, placement, installation, site supervision and documentation associated with the below:

• Ladders
• Handrails
• Spring loaded gates
• Gantries
• Steps

The works will be both planned and reactive (where immediate response is required e.g. due to H&S or Operational risks) and could impact upon customers both internally and externally. There are multiple stakeholders (including NWL maintenance, NWL Capital Delivery, Tier 1 Contract Partners etc) whom will not all have the same priorities so planning and co-ordinating workload will be key to the delivery of the framework. It is the intention that this framework will also be utilised by our Tier 1 Contractors where appropriate.

Location

Steel fabrications will be required across the Northumbrian Water Operating Area (NWL).

Certification

The Suppliers appointed to the framework must be a primary fabricator and installer (not a sub-contractor) and be certified to class 2 BS EN 1090 CE. The supplier must be approved by manufacturers for the installation, when required, of security rated products that are certificated to LPCB 1175.
