Summary of the contracting process

Anglian Water Services Ltd is in the planning stage of a procurement process for the development of up to three desalination plants within their region. The project, valued at approximately £700 million, involves two distinct tenders: one for technical partners to aid in the design and development of plants in Bacton, Norfolk, and Mablethorpe, Lincolnshire, and another for a Competitively Appointed Provider (CAP) using the Ofwat's Direct Procurement for Customers (DPC) approach to deliver the Bacton project. Responses for the Prior Information Notice (PIN) are welcomed until 24th January 2025, with market engagement meetings planned to start in early 2025. The technical provider tenders are expected to launch in 2025, while the CAP tender is anticipated around late 2027 or early 2028, contingent upon procurement strategy and project requirements. The projects fall under the industry category of construction work and are aimed at enhancing long-term water supply resilience in the specified regions.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in construction and financing of large-scale infrastructure projects, particularly those with expertise in water treatment and desalination in compliance with UK water industry standards. Companies with experience in Design, Build, Finance, Operate, and Maintain (DBFOM) contracts and familiarity with Public-Private Partnerships (PPP), Private Finance Initiative (PFI), or Direct Procurement for Customers (DPC) schemes are well-suited to compete. By participating in this procurement, businesses can expand their portfolio, enhance their market presence, and contribute to critical infrastructure development. Businesses interested in this opportunity should prepare to engage in the procurement process and demonstrate their capability to deliver on Anglian Water’s strategic objectives for sustainable water supply solutions.
