Summary of the contracting process

Southern Water Services Limited, a private utility company based in Worthing, United Kingdom, is overseeing a procurement process titled "CENTAUR for CSO Spill and Water Quality Compliance – Phase 2". This initiative focuses on implementing innovative rainfall-enhanced control systems and installing a CENTAUR gate to improve water quality. The procurement process, which follows a direct award method due to technical reasons, falls under the services industry category and targets hardware installation services across the UK. Even though the procurement stage is complete, the next significant date involves a future contract signature scheduled by 20th January 2026. The contract period is set to begin on 20th February 2026 and may extend up to 20th February 2030, depending on additional trials.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in innovative water management solutions. The direct award method, while limiting broader competition, opens avenues for businesses that can demonstrate technical superiority and deliver specialised services efficiently. Companies with expertise in engineering and environmental technology, particularly those skilled in installation and monitoring equipment related to water quality, stand to benefit substantially. The awarded contract, valued at approximately £633,000, underscores substantial business growth potential for the supplier, Cura Terrae Water Limited, located in Sheffield.
