This procurement is part of United Utilities’ AMP8 investment programme aiming for net zero by 2030. The procurement follows an open procedure with the tender currently in the active stage. Key dates include a tender period ending on 19th January 2026 and an award period expected to conclude by 24th February 2026. The framework agreement will run for a period of 5 years with options to extend it up to 8 years, and the project is valued at £4.2 million gross.
