Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lichfield District Council procured a water supply service for its estate. The requirement covers collected and purified water, classified under CPV 41000000, and is categorised as goods rather than works or broader services. Delivery is across the council’s estate in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. The buying organisation is Lichfield District Council, based at District Council House in Lichfield. This opportunity is relevant to businesses supplying treated or potable water to public-sector estates, with the ability to provide reliable supply across multiple locations or facilities within the West Midlands. It concerns the council’s operational water requirements rather than construction, installation or water-treatment works.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded on 12 August 2026 to Water Plus Limited. The award value is £118,000, within the estimated range of £88,500 to £118,000, all in GBP. The contract runs from 4 November 2026 to 3 November 2029. It was conducted using a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 12 May 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Water Plus Limited is the awarded supplier and the award is active. The contract covers the council’s water supply requirement for its estate in the West Midlands.

This award demonstrates established public-sector demand for a managed water supply to a council estate over a multi-year period. Suppliers considering future work with Lichfield District Council would need dependable access to collected and purified water, robust arrangements for maintaining continuity of supply, and the operational capacity to serve an estate in the West Midlands. The route to market is significant: the council used a selective call-off from a framework, so framework access and the ability to respond to call-off competitions would be important. The requirement is marked as suitable for SMEs, making it relevant to smaller water suppliers with suitable distribution capability, service resilience and experience of supplying public-sector or estate-based customers.
