Notice Title

Modern Contact Centre Market Engagement

Notice Description

Anglian Water Services Ltd ("Anglian Water") is currently reviewing options for the future delivery of a Modern Contact Centre (MCC). Anglian Water is looking to procure a Contact Centre as a Service solution to replace the current on-prem contact centre telephony platform. The Contact Centre solution should have the capability of providing a personalised experience to customers by executing inbound, as well as outbound, communication across a variety of channels. In order to understand the contracting models available for this delivery we have decided to undertake Pre-Market Engagement. We are inviting parties who may have an interest in Modern Contact Centres to complete the questionnaire linked to this event in order to give Anglian Water a better understanding of the feasibility of our requirements and to gain insight to the market possibilities. Anglian Water are looking for interested parties to present their available product options in regards to the provision of a Modern Contact Centre. Our Contact Centre serves as the primary hub for incoming and outgoing communications between our company and customers, and is currently spread across multiple physical locations, including Enterprise House in Lincoln, Henderson House in Huntingdon, and Hartlepool. Over 400 agents are responsible for handling a wide range of customer inquiries and issues related to billing, home moves, and operational matters. The current technology landscape is complex and difficult to navigate, resulting in a lack of actionable insights and operational management. We want to reduce our support costs, simplify our systems, and create an easy-to-use platform that can easily adapt to new channels as they emerge. Our aim is to provide a digital-first customer experience, and we are looking to transform our traditional voice channels into modern digital channels. While we understand that some customers will still prefer voice-based interactions, we aim to increase the proportion of digital interactions, making it easy for customers to interact with us through various digital channels, including self-serve, social media, and two-way messaging platforms such as WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger. As a result, we are inviting parties who may have an interest in Modern Contact Centres to complete the event in order to give Anglian Water a better understanding of the feasibility of our requirements and to gain insight to the market possibilities. We are looking for interested parties to present their available product options in regards to the provision of a Modern Contact Centre.
