Integrated Partnerships Framework

The IF109 Framework is being established 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 will 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 comprises four Lots covering:

Lot 1 - Minor Civil Pipelaying Works

Lot 2 - Minor Civil Works

Lot 3 - Minor MEICA & Process Works

Lot 4 - Major Civil, MEICA & Process Works

Together, these Lots will 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.

The Framework has been designed to support long-term delivery of NI Water's investment programme whilst providing the flexibility required to respond to evolving programme, funding and operational requirements throughout its duration.

The total framework value may be shared across all Lots.
