Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottinghamshire County Council procured services for billing its water and wastewater services, together with associated ancillary services. The requirement covers the administration and billing of water-supply and wastewater services rather than construction works, and is classified under CPV 90713100. The buying organisation is Nottinghamshire County Council, based at County Hall in Nottingham. Delivery is across England. The procurement was undertaken through Lot 3 of the Crown Commercial Service RM6306 Water, Wastewater and Ancillary Services 3 framework. This is a public-sector utilities administration requirement, relevant to providers of water and wastewater billing, customer account management and related support services. It is a services contract and may suit both small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. Bids closed on 25 May 2026 at 23:59. Nottinghamshire County Council awarded the contract to Water Plus Limited on 1 June 2026. The awarded value is £1,200,000. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. The procurement’s estimated value and the award value are both £1,200,000. Evaluation was conducted through the open procedure route under Lot 3 of the RM6306 framework. One requirement covered the overall service, with no separate lot breakdown recorded beyond its framework route. The selected supplier is Water Plus Limited, a large organisation. The contract concerns billing and ancillary services for the council’s water and wastewater arrangements.

For a future requirement of this type, credible suppliers would need to manage public-sector water and wastewater billing accurately at county-wide scale, with robust systems for account administration, charging, invoicing, payment handling and customer support. Experience of working with water-supply and wastewater services would be directly relevant, as would the ability to coordinate ancillary activities around billing rather than only provide general consultancy. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate dependable operational capacity, service continuity, data quality controls and clear reporting to a local authority. The award shows that the buyer used an established public-sector framework route and selected a large specialist supplier, so competitors would need evidence of comparable delivery capability while smaller firms and social enterprises may also be suitable for the requirement.
