UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Ashford Borough Council initiated the procurement process for the Water Supply Services project, classified under the services sector with CPV code 65110000, originally involving a planning stage as of 11 April 2025. The procurement was intended for delivery within the region of Ashford, United Kingdom, with the contract period initially scheduled to run from 1 September 2025 to 31 August 2028. However, as of 31 July 2025, the tender was cancelled, and any related awards were also marked as cancelled. The procurement process followed legal provisions outlined in the UKPGA 2023/54.

The Water Supply Services procurement represented a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in water distribution and related services. Given the scale and regional scope of the supply services, well-established companies capable of servicing large-scale demands would have been suitable candidates to compete for the contract had it proceeded. Although the initial opportunity was withdrawn, businesses in this sector should monitor future communications from Ashford Borough Council as they likely leverage frameworks for such needs, presenting ongoing opportunities for growth in public service delivery contracts.
