    Brief

    This is a direct award consultancy contract to conduct a comprehensive Value for Money (VfM) appraisal of the Major Water Infrastructure Programme (MWIP). The work will identify, test and prioritise cost reduction and VfM opportunities, with particular focus on influencing cost, schedule, risk and deliverability early in the project lifecycle. The engagement uses a two-stage approach: Stage 1 delivers a programme-wide VfM assessment identifying and prioritising the most significant opportunities; Stage 2 (commissioned separately based on Stage 1 findings) will further develop priority opportunities through targeted technical, commercial or delivery assessments. Key deliverables include a VfM Appraisal Report and Prioritised VfM Opportunity Matrix, with recommendations covering delivery approaches, governance, commercial models and system enablers. The supplier will work with industry and technical experts to quantify potential benefits, assess risks and dependencies, and provide Ofwat and stakeholders with an evidence base for decision-making.
