Summary of the contracting process

Wessex Water Services Limited procured a framework for minor civil engineering works supporting its capital investment programme. The work covers potable-water and wastewater treatment sites and networks, including excavation, temporary works, concrete structures, pipeline and manhole construction, and related site works. Network work includes installing and jointing pipes, valves and fittings; treatment-site work includes groundworks and small concrete works. The wider framework description also covers specific works at Avonmouth, including formwork, reinforcement and concrete for settlement tanks and associated structures. Work is delivered across Wessex Water’s operating area, including its treatment works and operational sites. The buying organisation is based in Bath.

The procurement is complete and contracts have been awarded. It used a selective negotiated procedure following a competition. The framework was divided into work areas for treatment-site civils, water and wastewater networks, and other structures; the other structure works included Avonmouth treatment-works upgrades. The stated initial framework term is five years, with an option to extend by up to three years. Contracts for the Avonmouth concrete works were signed on 12 September 2024; the civils support contracts shown were signed on 25 March 2025. One listed civils support contract has a value of £65 million; this is an individual contract value, not a total for the framework. J. Carney Construction Ltd won the Avonmouth concrete works. Numerous suppliers were appointed for civils support across site works, mainlaying, potable-water infrastructure and wastewater infrastructure.

This procurement demonstrates recurring demand from Wessex Water for civil contractors able to work across water and wastewater assets, from treatment sites to buried networks. Relevant capabilities include excavation and reinstatement, temporary works, concrete construction, pipeline installation and repair, manhole and chamber work, and safe delivery on operational sites. Potable-water work requires personnel to hold National Water Hygiene cards and comply with Wessex Water’s water-supply hygiene code. Suppliers also need to meet the buyer’s registration and qualification requirements to be eligible for procurement activity. The awards went to a broad supplier pool, including small and medium-sized firms as well as larger contractors, indicating that relevant specialist capability and suitable capacity can be credible alongside scale. Experience coordinating work around water infrastructure operations and safety requirements is pertinent.
