Summary of the contracting process

Portsmouth Water Limited has recently completed a procurement process aimed at securing a framework contract for Non-Infrastructure (MEICA) Engineering Services to support its above-ground investment needs for AMP8 and potentially AMP9. The procurement was conducted using a selective, negotiated procedure with prior call for competition as per UCR 2016, Reg. 47, focusing on works within the South East of England. The awards were finalised in September 2025, and framework agreements have been signed with Bridges Electrical Engineers Ltd and Integrated Water Services Limited. These agreements cover a broad scope of services including mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, control, and automation, essential for engineering projects like drinking-water treatment plant construction and maintenance.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in engineering and construction, particularly those with capabilities in water treatment infrastructure. Larger organisations with expertise in designing and implementing Mechanical, Electrical, Instrumentation, Control and Automation (MEICA) systems, as well as those providing installation services for related machinery and apparatus, will find this framework beneficial in securing significant projects under Portsmouth Water’s strategic investment plans. The tender leverages a framework agreement, paving the way for long-term collaboration, repeat business, and market leadership opportunities in the water treatment sector across the South East of England.
