Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "Asset Health Metrics Pilot" has been carried out by O F W A T, located in Birmingham, England, as the buying organisation. This tender falls under the industry category of technical testing, analysis, and consultancy services (CPV code: 71600000). The tender concluded with an award on 22 May 2026, following a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement, specifically RM6309 Management Consultancy Framework Four (MCF4), Lot 8 Infrastructure. The contract is set to begin on 27 May 2026 and will last until 27 May 2027, with the project requiring delivery in the West Midlands, UK.

This contract presents a noteworthy opportunity for businesses specialising in consultancy services within infrastructure and asset management, particularly those with capabilities in technical testing and analysis. The procurement process, designed with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in mind, suggests that businesses of this size could effectively compete, especially if they have prior experience with framework agreements. This tender provides a potential avenue for such organisations to expand their service offerings in a high-demand sector and establish or strengthen relationships with a significant public sector body such as O F W A T.
