Overview And Objectives DCC intends to award a Framework Agreement for Service Reservoir Cleaning, Maintenance and Refurbishment services. It is a business-critical service required to: • maintain the cleanliness, integrity and operational condition of DCC’s potable water storage assets; • support the safe and timely return of service reservoirs to operation following planned cleaning, inspection and minor remedial works; and • support compliance with Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI) requirements, DCC’s internal standards and applicable water quality legislation. The Framework will be used to provide cleaning and maintenance for potable water tanks across DCC’s operational area. There are approximately 828 tanks within DCC’s estate that require routine cleaning and inspection in accordance with PNL 810 (DCC’s internal standard for drain downs and cleaning of service reservoirs) to meet Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI) regulations. Tanks include below ground and above ground steel or concrete tanks as well as a small number of water towers however most tanks are square, underground concrete structures. Ensuring a clean and consistent water supply is core to DCC services and is linked directly to corporate key performance indicators. The proposed contract term is 3 years, with the option to extend for a further 5 years (2 + 2 + 1 years). The estimated value of the framework for the initial three-year term is £25.5 million based on estimated annual expenditure of approximately £8.5 million. The value across the maximum term of 8 years is £68m. Scope The scope includes the following elements: Cleaning This includes the cleaning and disinfecting of the tanks normally with the use of high-pressure water or soft brush as appropriate and DWI Approved disinfectant. In some instances, it may be a requirement to carry out chemical cleaning with the use of a DWI approved chemical.
