Summary of the contracting process

Rossendale Borough Council has concluded the procurement process for the provision of retail water and wastewater services across its multiple sites within the Borough. This contract, which spans a period of three years, was awarded to EVERFLOW LIMITED under an open procedure. The procurement process has moved through the key stages of tender announcement to contract award, with the contract formally signed on 3rd February 2026. The services fall under the category of utilities, specifically water distribution and sewage services, covering various regions within the United Kingdom. The contract, valued at £300,000 excluding VAT, will remain in effect until 2nd February 2029, with a total estimated expenditure possibility up to £360,000.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in utility services, particularly those specialising in water and wastewater management. Companies that can offer consolidated billing, robust account management, and compliance with statutory and regulatory standards, including social value contributions, will find this engagement beneficial for growth. While EVERFLOW LIMITED, a large supplier, has secured this contract, similar opportunities could suit SMEs and larger enterprises with the capacity to manage multi-site operations. Given the open procurement method employed, businesses have the opportunity to leverage their expertise and expand their service offerings to public sector entities.
