Summary of the contracting process

United Utilities Water Limited commissioned leakage detection and repair services for its biogas facilities, supporting compliance with the Industrial Emissions Directive and Environment Agency emissions guidance. The work covers surveys for fugitive volatile organic compounds, including methane, and other emissions to air. Assets in scope include membrane roofs and fittings, pressure relief valves, feeding and digestate equipment, gas pipes, conveyors, compressors, combined heat and power plants, gas upgrading plants, reception and digestate storage, pits and sumps. Surveys must use optical gas imaging cameras to visualise leaks and quantify emission rates and concentrations. The services are for the buyer’s Bioresource and Energy Services team, with delivery in North West England.

The procurement has been awarded to Oss Enviro (Global) Ltd through an open competitive flexible procedure. The award is dated 24 September 2026. Its value is £1.25 million excluding VAT (£1.5 million including VAT). The contract period runs from 20 October 2026 to 19 October 2030, with an option to extend by up to a further five years. The procurement was structured as a single lot and used a framework agreement with direct allocation. Evaluation weighted technical quality at 60% and commercial considerations at 40%. The award is recorded as pending, and the contract signature was scheduled for 19 October 2026.

For a supplier competing when this requirement returns, the strongest fit is demonstrated capability in leak detection and repair at biogas and biological waste treatment facilities. Credible delivery requires optical gas imaging camera surveys that can visualise leaks and quantify emissions, including methane and other volatile organic compounds. Suppliers should be able to assess the varied plant and infrastructure involved, from roofs, valves and gas pipework to digestate storage, compressors and gas upgrading equipment. Methodologies must meet the Environment Agency’s guidance for permitted biological waste treatment facilities, including its leak detection and repair requirements. The evaluation put greater weight on technical quality than commercial considerations, so evidence of compliant methods and reliable technical delivery would matter. The procurement was marked suitable for SMEs.
