detailed separately below.

Lots A, B, C1.1, C1.2, C2, E1, E2, E3, F1 and G will continue.
Thames Water has established a Qualification System (the "Register") which
forms the basis for the award of contracts and/or framework agreements
covering a range of works and services. For the purpose of obtaining
places on the Register the works and services have been split into
indicative Lots listed as lots A to G below. The contracts and/or
framework agreements ultimately awarded may be for individual Lots or a
combination of one or more lots.
This notice is a request for expressions of interest for places on the
register. Applications may be made for one, several or all Lots. Thames
Water will consider how Lots may be combined (if at all) subject to
responses received from applicants and in particular where this is
considered to offer economic advantage. When responding to this Notice
applicants should therefore consider whether they believe there may be
such an advantage in combining lots and make their application
accordingly. Where an application is made for more than one Lot, the
places for the applicant on the Register will be allocated individually
for each lot applied for. For example if an application is made for lot A,
lot B and lot D (whether combined or not) the places will be allocated for
lot A, lot B and lot D individually.
The final decision on any combination of lots for the purpose of awarding
framework agreements and/or contracts will be at Thames Water’s sole
discretion. Thames Water reserves the right not to award framework
agreements and/or contracts for one or more lots. Companies may apply
individually and/or provide joint venture or consortium applications.
Companies applying individually should note that before the time of tender
there may be an opportunity for them to form a joint venture or consortium
with other companies who have qualified for a place on the register (see
section VI.2 below for further information).
Thames Water anticipates awarding framework agreements and contracts of up
to (but not limited to) 10 years duration.
