Summary of the contracting process

Dwr Cymru Cyfyngedig has concluded the procurement process for the provision of clean and waste water tankers and spares, aimed at enhancing water services in the United Kingdom. The procurement, issued under the title "Provision of Clean and Waste Water Tankers & Spares" and classified under the industry category of goods, specifically tankers (CPV code: 34133100), reached its completion stage on 14 April 2025. The procurement involved the fabrication and supply of various tanker bodies and trailers, with a contract awarded to Whale Tankers Ltd. The procurement method applied was a limited procedure without a prior call for competition, justified by its inclusion in a Dynamic Purchasing System (Achilles UVDB). The contract was signed on 2 December 2024, with a total value of GBP 8,400,000.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities for companies specialising in the manufacturing and maintenance of tanker vehicles and their parts. Businesses with expertise in fabricating large capacity tankers, providing comprehensive maintenance services, and managing logistics for distribution can benefit from engaging in such procurement processes. Companies like Whale Tankers Ltd., which successfully secured the contract, demonstrate that SMEs with robust technical and commercial capabilities can compete effectively in this sector. The requirement for diverse tanker configurations, including vacuum and potable water tankers, also presents niche markets for specialised engineering firms and suppliers of tanker components and support services.
