Summary of the contracting process

Anglian Water Services Limited procured a closed, multi-supplier Major Infrastructure Delivery Framework for capital investment works supporting climate-change adaptation and population growth. The scope covers major water and wastewater infrastructure, including pipelines, water-distribution networks, pumping stations, drainage, sewerage and water-treatment facilities. It also includes engineering and pipeline design, site investigation, construction supervision and management, health and safety, environmental planning, and water and waste consultancy. The framework is intended to provide integrated delivery partners for programmes and projects, with scope able to respond to regulatory, environmental and programme needs. Work is to be delivered across North East England, the East Midlands and the East of England. Anglian Water is a private utility buyer operating from Huntingdon.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective competitive flexible procedure under the Procurement Act 2023. Quality counted for 60% and price for 40%. Two supplier groupings were selected for the single lot: Ferrovial Construction (UK) Limited and MWH Treatment Limited were awarded an active framework on 17 August 2026, valued at £1.5 billion excluding VAT (£1.8 billion including VAT), for 27 August 2026 to 26 August 2031, with a possible extension to 26 August 2036. VolkerStevin Infrastructure Limited and VolkerFitzpatrick Limited received a pending award on 17 August 2026, at the same stated value, for the same contract period and possible extension. The second award had a standstill period ending 26 August 2026.

This requirement is relevant to large infrastructure contractors, water-sector engineering businesses and integrated delivery partnerships able to undertake substantial capital programmes across multiple English regions. Credible suppliers need capability in water and wastewater construction, including pipelines, mains refurbishment, pumping stations, drainage, sewers and treatment plants, alongside design, site investigation, construction management and supervision. Experience in water distribution, environmental planning, health and safety and consultancy is also directly relevant. The selected suppliers show that the buyer values collaborative, multi-disciplinary delivery rather than a narrow construction-only offer. Businesses preparing for a future requirement of this type would need strong programme capacity, the ability to coordinate specialist disciplines and evidence of safe delivery for a regulated utility serving changing population and environmental needs.
