Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the supply of foul water detention tanks has reached the "award" stage, indicating the successful conclusion of contracts. The buying organisation behind this initiative is United Utilities Water Limited, located in Warrington, UKD. The tender titled "PRO004798-Goods-Framework-Supply of Detention Tanks" falls under the "Storage tanks" industry category, focusing on increasing storage capacity to alleviate wastewater treatment load. The procurement method employed was a selective, negotiated procedure that initially required a prior call for competition. The three lots in the framework, initially tendered for various tank types, have been actively awarded, with the contracts signed as of 1 August 2025. The framework covers installations across the company's operating network.

This tender represents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for firms specialising in manufacturing or supplying storage and water tanks. With a total value of £20,000,000, opportunities exist for suppliers capable of delivering integrated, modular, and above-ground tanks, catering to varying volume requirements. Businesses that provide innovative storage solutions stand to benefit from participation in such frameworks, especially given the long contract period of roughly 2880 days per lot. The negotiated procedure opens the door for companies with strong competitive credentials and the ability to meet stringent suitability and technical selection criteria outlined in the procurement documents. This framework agreement is poised to include a maximum of eight participants, allowing diversity in market competition and strategy.
