Summary of the contracting process

Portsmouth Water Limited, a private utility company based in Havant, United Kingdom, is engaged in a public procurement process for the renewal of its Asset Investment Planning Software. The procurement falls under the industry category of system and support services and aims to extend their existing systems to continue efficient planning and delivery of regulated investments. The procurement has been completed with a direct award made on 11 December 2025, with a contract starting on 1 April 2026 and ending on 31 March 2030. The procurement method was a direct award due to the need for compatibility and continuity with the existing software provided by IFS Canada, Inc., located in Ontario, Canada. This procurement involves a gross value of £657,600 and was necessitated by the utility-specific needs of Portsmouth Water.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in utility management and system support to provide ancillary services or products complementing the core software. Firms with expertise in industry-specific software, particularly in investment management and system maintenance, will find this contract valuable as it indicates a strong demand for integrated system solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with innovative offerings related to these areas might explore partnerships or subcontracting opportunities with larger firms like IFS Canada to gain access to future projects and grow their portfolio within the utility sector.
