Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by St Albans City & District Council involves the award of a contract for the provision of water, wastewater, and ancillary services. The procurement falls under the "Water distribution and related services" category, with services to be delivered in the South East region of the United Kingdom. The process proceeded through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period concluded on 11th July 2024, and the contract was subsequently awarded to Scottish Water Business Stream on 23rd July 2024. The contract span extends from 25th July 2024 to 24th July 2026, with a total value of £144,000.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for companies specialising in water supply and management services, especially those able to engage with frameworks efficiently. It presents potential business growth for capable firms in service delivery, particularly for those prepared to enter competitive bidding processes for framework agreements. Companies that are scalable and able to provide comprehensive water services within the stipulated period can leverage this opportunity to establish or expand their footprint in the South East England region. The project was particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), opening avenues for such entities to compete in public procurement.
