Summary of the contracting process

Northumbria Police, located in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, conducted a public procurement process for Water Retail Services under the industry category of water distribution and related services (CPV code: 65100000). The procurement method employed was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, culminating in an award status. The contract, valued at £800,000, is set to commence on 1st April 2025 and will continue until 31st March 2029, providing services across the North East region. The procurement process reached its award stage, with the contract notice published on 6th August 2025 and the award made active on 25th March 2025.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in water services, particularly those classified as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Given the selective procurement via a framework agreement, businesses with relevant experience and capabilities in such frameworks can leverage potential growth by securing multi-year service contracts with a key regional law enforcement agency. Companies with expertise in water distribution within the specified location stand a good chance of competing successfully and establishing a partnership with Northumbria Police, enhancing their business portfolio and regional presence.
