Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Norfolk County Council procured water, wastewater and ancillary services for its operations across the East of England. The requirement covers the provision of water and wastewater services, together with related ancillary services, under the council’s water services arrangement. It is classified as collected and purified water, although the stated scope extends beyond water supply to include wastewater and associated services. The buying organisation is Norfolk County Council, based in Norwich. The opportunity is relevant to suppliers that provide water and wastewater services, manage associated customer and account requirements, or can deliver a combined service covering the council’s water-related needs through an established public-sector framework.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 4 June 2026 to Water Plus Limited. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from the Government Commercial Function Framework – Water, Wastewater and Ancillary Services 3, Lot 3 (One Stop Shop). The estimated awarded value is £1,100,000 including the stated usage-dependent estimate and water-price increases. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029, with the original tender description providing a right to extend by a further year. The tender submission deadline was 12 May 2026 at 11:00. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the main procurement category was goods.

This award shows Norfolk County Council buys a combined package of water, wastewater and ancillary services through a public-sector framework rather than running a standalone open competition. A future competitor would need to provide reliable water and wastewater services across the East of England, support the associated ancillary requirements, and operate effectively within a framework call-off process. The council’s stated requirement is suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialist providers may be credible participants where they can demonstrate the necessary service coverage, operational capacity and public-sector delivery processes. Suppliers should also be able to manage demand that varies with usage and respond to changes in water prices, since these affect the requirement’s overall cost.
