Summary of the contracting process

United Utilities Water Limited concluded a procurement process titled "Supply of Geospatial including Topographical Surveys" with the final contract award dated 8th January 2026. This award, under the open competitive flexible procedure, is related to the utilities sector and has a focus on topographical services across various locations within the UK, particularly the UKD region. The procurement involved the supply of services such as aerial LiDAR surveys, bathymetric and hydrographic surveys, as well as other complex geospatial services. The competitive process included framework agreements with the potential for call-off contracts, starting from 26th January 2026 to 25th January 2029, with possible extensions up to 2031. The procurement process has transitioned through the planning, tender, and award stages, with an emphasis on quality and cost criteria for evaluation.

The tender represents a significant opportunity for growth, especially for businesses with expertise in geospatial and topographical surveys. Companies that can provide innovative surveying techniques such as LiDAR, 3D modelling, and bathymetric services are well-suited to exploit this opportunity. The involvement of multiple suppliers, including SMEs like Atlantic Geomatics (UK) Ltd and Plowman Craven Limited, highlights the competitive landscape and the potential for different business types to bid for similar contracts in the future. With a total project value of £7.7 million and a gross amount of £9.24 million, this tender encourages businesses to leverage new technologies and expand their capabilities in line with industry demands.
