Manx Utilities has opened a ‘prior information notice’ and ‘request for information’ for potential contractors interested in the Garff Sewage Treatment works.
The MUA says the exercise is not a competitive tender process and it will not be awarding a contract at the end of the scheme.
Currently, Manx Utilities has applied for planning permission to develop a treatment works in Axnfell Plantation and five associated pumping stations.
It adds interested parties are asked to submit details of their company and should also cover experience of delivering similar wastewater treatment works, project summaries with timescales and approaches to working on the Island.
The MU says the planning application remains ‘under consideration’ and any ‘significant deviation’ from the current proposals will not be possible without a delay to the scheme.
Manx Utilities also says it’s ‘only exploring options’ and no commitment is ‘intended or implied’ if companies submit proposals to the authority.
Responses must be submitted through the MUA’s portal by 12 noon on Thursday 6 August which can be found here.
