Summary of the contracting process

Anglian Water Services Limited is undertaking a procurement process for an Asset Investment Management Planning and Management (AIPM) system. The process aims to implement a cloud-based Software as a Service (SaaS) solution that enhances investment decision-making and long-term planning. The procurement, classified under software-related services, follows a competitive flexible procedure suitable for software-driven projects. While the tender was initially opened on 11th November 2025, the award was completed by 24th June 2026, with a contract term starting on 1st April 2027. The procurement method is selective, with the process involving multiple stages to ensure compliance and capability assessment, leading to a final selection. The anticipated contract duration is ten years, with a total estimated value of £8,000,000. The project location is the United Kingdom, particularly in the UKH region, offering a significant opportunity for service providers specializing in software-related solutions.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for businesses specializing in software development, IT services, and risk management solutions. The planned SaaS AIPM system integration requires technical expertise in cloud-based deployment, scalability, and compatibility with existing digital infrastructures, making it an attractive proposition for companies with strong credentials in these areas. Due to its substantial contract value and long-term engagement, the tender is particularly suited for large-scale IT service providers capable of delivering comprehensive solutions while maintaining flexibility to adapt to emergent business and regulatory demands. The partnership with Anglian Water also opens potential growth avenues, providing a platform to showcase and expand innovative technology solutions across UK-based utility sectors.
