Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the supply of water services to St Helens College, within the North West region of the United Kingdom, has reached the award stage, with the contract valued at £528,247.02. This initiative, managed by Surrey County Council in collaboration with Dukefield Energy, falls under the industry category of water distribution and related services. The tender was concluded on the 6th of February 2026, and the awarded contract commences on the 19th of July 2026, continuing until the 18th of July 2029. The procurement method employed was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, ensuring a streamlined process for this service-oriented procurement.

Although the contract has been awarded to Water Plus Ltd, a large enterprise with a robust infrastructure, the competitive process reflects the dynamic nature of public procurement where suitable suppliers can engage through established frameworks. Business entities aiming for growth in public service contracts can benefit by familiarising themselves with framework agreements and selectively positioning themselves for future opportunities that align with regions and industry categories related to their core competencies.
