Summary of the contracting process

The Water Services Regulation Authority, based in Birmingham, UK, has completed a procurement process titled "Leakage WP3 - Smart Metering and Night Use Allowances" within the service category of public utilities. Initiated under the tender process, the contract is active from 19th September 2025 until 31st March 2026, with a gross value of £120,000. The procurement followed a direct method below the threshold without competition and is linked to legal basis 2023/54 under UKPGA. HR Wallingford Limited, located in Wallingford, Oxfordshire, has been awarded the contract, effective as of the signing date, 19th September 2025.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in smart metering and water management services. The opportunity aligns well for companies adept in integrating smart technologies within public utilities, as it involves smart metering and closely associated night use allowances. Businesses that capitalise on innovative water management solutions can benefit from such contracts by offering specialised services and establishing a presence in government-linked projects, thus positioning themselves for future tenders of similar nature.
