Summary of the contracting process

Anglian Water Services Limited, a private utility company based in Huntingdon, has completed a public procurement process for their EcoHydro Survey & Assessment Framework. This encompasses two main projects: Ecology Surveys and Assessments, and Hydrological Surveys and Assessments, directed towards supporting Anglian Water's extensive capital delivery and environmental programmes. With the competitive flexible procedure as the chosen procurement method, these initiatives will operate under a framework agreement with services overseen by NEC4 Professional Services Contracts. The framework, divided into lots, values up to £47 million over 15 years and includes geographical coverage across various regions such as Lincoln, Norfolk, and Essex. The final standstill period concluded on June 11, 2026, the contract commences on June 12, 2026, and has potential extensions that may extend the term up to 2041.

This extensive opportunity presents significant potential for business growth, especially for firms specialising in environmental and hydrological surveys, consulting services, and related technical and testing services. As the framework encourages the participation of SMEs, smaller and medium-sized enterprises that demonstrate robust capabilities and regional knowledge stand a substantial chance of securing contracts. Businesses that excel in environmental legislation compliance, advanced data analysis, GIS mapping, and those with experience in high-value infrastructure projects will find this framework particularly rewarding. The contract structure also allows for a rich infusion of innovation and technology adoption, enabling businesses to apply the latest advancements, such as AI-assisted classifications and real-time monitoring systems, ensuring a sustainable and efficient fulfilment of service requirements.
