Summary
Machine-generated summaryThe Water Services Corporation is procuring the design, supply, installation, commissioning and hand-over of a new SWRO desalination plant, Plant 'D', within the existing Pembroke RO Plant in Pembroke, Malta. The plant shall have a nominal capacity of 11,200 m3/day and a potential maximum capacity of at least 13,000 m3/day, produced from two independent and identical RO systems. The contractor shall carry out all mechanical and electrical works needed to build the plant to the specified capacities. During installation, testing and up to commissioning, the existing SWRO plant and its ancillary equipment must remain in operation, so water production must not be jeopardised. Works follow FIDIC conditions and environmentally friendly measures, funded by the EU.

Who wins its contracts
Many suppliers- different companies won its awards
- 26
- of the awards went to the three most frequent winners
- 25%
- of its calls state an estimated value
- 100%
Based on 32 awards with a named winner over the last 3 years. Counted by award, not by value, because lot and framework amounts are not comparable. Concentrated means the three most frequent winners took 65% or more of the awards; many suppliers, under 35% with at least ten different winners.
Competition
- tenders per lot on average (open and restricted procedures)
- 4.5
- of those lots received a single tender
- 9%
- of the awards went to companies based in another country
- 16%
As the official award notices state them, over the last 3 years. Tenders per lot count open and restricted procedures only: in a negotiated procedure or a direct award a single tender is the procedure itself. The country is the one the notice gives for the winner.
One dot per award, on the day it was signed, sized by its value. A ring is an award with no published value.
