Important: It is Southern Water’s intention to award to either Lots 1-4 or Lots 5-6. Southern Water plan to evaluate the two sets of Lots (Lots 1-4 and Lot 5-6) concurrently. The results should reveal to Southern Water which options will be most effective in terms of service provision and cost. We are mindful of this managing tender workloads for all parties, so we have kept the technical tender evaluation questions and the commercial bid sheet structure very similar across Lots 1-4 and Lots 5-6. Note that the planned Services elements in Lots 1-4 have been copied into Lot 5 and the reactive Service elements copied into Lot 6. Tenderers are encouraged to submit bids for Lots 1-4 and Lots 5-6 to ensure that their bid remains under consideration.
