Summary of the contracting process

Southern Water Services Limited, located in Worthing, UK, has completed the procurement process for the "Speciality Chemicals & Fuels" project. This tender, under the category of goods, involves the supply of various chemical products needed across Southern Water's sites in the UK. Originally announced under a selective procurement method with a prior negotiation call, the process involved several lots including the supply and management of polymers, lime, antifoam products, fuels, and calcium or sodium nitrate. Notably, Lot 6 concerning liquid oxygen was cancelled. The procurement was governed by the legal basis CELEX 32014L0025 and covered by the GPA. Contracts were awarded as of 21 November 2025 to several large suppliers, and the procurement has since reached a complete status.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the chemical and fuel supply sectors, particularly those capable of meeting large-scale supply requirements and providing associated technical support. It is well-suited for large organisations with expertise in stock and supply chain management, especially those offering innovative and efficient solutions. Collaborations with Southern Water Services provide potential for sustained business growth, given the initial four-year term of the contracts, with possible renewals, indicating the company's ongoing need for these essential supplies.
