Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Salford City Council pertains to the supply of water and wastewater services for the city of Salford. Classified under the services category, this planned procurement process is currently in the Planning stage as of 22 May 2025. The buying organisation, a public authority within the sub-central government, is exploring frameworks and tender options under the 2015 or 2023 Procurement Act regulations. Located in Manchester, this opportunity will particularly serve the region coded UKD36, with the contract period expected to start on 1 April 2027 and end on 31 March 2029. Key dates include a future notice by 1 July 2026, which will clarify the procurement method and confirm market engagement outcomes.

This procurement presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in water distribution and related services. Companies with a strong track record in the utilities sector, particularly those familiar with public procurement frameworks and capable of servicing large-scale supply requirements, would be well-suited to compete. Salford City Council's focus on potential frameworks suggests a level of flexibility in procurement methods, offering a strategic advantage to businesses able to align with their evolving objectives. Engaging early in the process and monitoring the announcement of further details could be beneficial for interested parties.
