Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Westmorland and Furness Council has completed the award stage for the procurement of Water, Wastewater, and Ancillary Services. The tender, classified under Public Utilities (CPV code 65000000), aimed to select a supplier to provide essential water and wastewater services across corporate buildings in England, United Kingdom. The Council sought to appoint a reliable partner to harmonise services for 186 properties, transitioning 55 sites from the former South Lakeland District Council contract. The contract, valued at £1,400,000 GBP, was awarded on 22 October 2024, and is set to commence on 27 October 2024, with an end date of 31 August 2027. The award process utilised a direct award method through the YPO Framework Agreement 001181.

This procurement opportunity opens doors for businesses in the utilities sector, particularly those capable of handling large-scale water and wastewater management services. Given the substantial contract value and the long-term partnership envisioned, it is primarily suited for established, large-scale suppliers rather than SMEs or VCSEs. Firms experienced in integrating cost-effective and environmentally beneficial solutions into their services would benefit significantly. This contract will enable the winning supplier, Anglian Water Business (National) Ltd, trading as Wave Utilities, to expand its portfolio within public sector utility management, thereby fostering business growth and stability.
