Description

To build resilience, we require two flexible contracts. This is largely to mitigate against suitable resources not being available or in case there are any actual or potential conflicts of interest that cannot be resolved.
The objective of this tender process is to ensure that Ofwat has in place provision for the expertise and technical support needed in order to fulfil its statutory functions in respect of deciding trade effluent appeals. This will most likely take the form of the Supplier producing written reports which may include:
- technical grounds and justification for trade effluent consent conditions in dispute;
- recommendations as to whether trade effluent consent conditions are reasonable; and
- if appropriate, recommended new trade effluent consent conditions.
Any timescales for deliverables will be case specific. We will typically require a report to be provided first followed by any potential review of draft decision responses.
The Customer may also require ad-hoc written and telephone advice on an informal basis on individual appeals.
Further, any trade effluent appeal is considered OFFICIAL: SENSITIVE and, as such, discretion must be applied.
The flexible ad hoc Services contract will be for 3 years from the date the contract commences.
