Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "Independent technical review of the Havant Thicket CAM2 project" has been completed, with the award given to Allora Infrastructure Limited. The buying organisation, Ofwat, sought consultative engineering and construction services to ensure the project represented the best value for customers. This procurement, conducted through a single tender action below the threshold, was aimed at a thorough evaluation of the project scope and costs. The contractual work began on 23rd January 2026 and is scheduled to end by 20th March 2026, with services primarily located in Birmingham, England. The contract was valued at £120,000 and was officially awarded on 22nd December 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in civil, environmental, and structural engineering consultancy services, as well as those offering advisory and consulting expertise in engineering. It is particularly advantageous for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that could leverage their specialised skills to enhance cost efficiency and risk reduction strategies in large-scale infrastructure projects. Companies with capabilities in energy services, telecommunication consultancy, and hazard protection are also well-positioned to compete for such tenders, allowing for growth in the niche markets they serve.
