Summary of the contracting process

Southern Water Services Limited initiated a tender process for the procurement of instrumentation and control equipment valued at £23,358,170. This procurement, focusing on the supply of various types of instrumentation, is categorised under the goods industry and spans nine lots, each representing different services within the UK. As of 5th September 2025, the procurement stage has been marked as cancelled after originally being active from 15th December 2022. The tender followed a selective procurement method, specifically a negotiated procedure with prior competition call. Notably, all nine lots, ranging from Level Monitors to Gas/Air Flow Meters, were discontinued. Consequently, Southern Water's endeavour to source these services has been halted at this stage.

This tender offered significant business growth opportunities for suppliers specialising in diverse instrumentation solutions, with the framework originally designed to accommodate up to 27 participants across multiple lots. Companies proficient in producing devices like liquid flow measurement systems or chlorine monitors would have found this opportunity to be particularly beneficial, given its substantial budget and potential for contract renewal over an extended period. The inclusion of lots that required comprehensive expertise in water and wastewater processes highlighted an ideal match for businesses involved in those sectors, although the tender's cancellation limits any immediate prospects for interested suppliers.
