The brief

Activities may include sewer and manhole inspections, sewer cleaning, CCTV surveys, identification of root causes of network issues, delivery of first time-fix activities where appropriate, and the development of recommendations for follow-on works.

Suppliers will be responsible for providing all labour, vehicles, equipment and associated resources necessary to deliver the services, together with the collection and submission of inspection data, CCTV records, photographs and other required outputs.

The framework will operate across the Thames Water region.
