UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cambridgeshire County Council has completed a procurement process related to the "Delivery of a Grant Fund for Local Resilience options," which is part of central government initiatives on water resilience. The process was carried out using a direct procurement method, categorized under services, and was executed without competition due to its below-threshold nature. This contract is located in the UKH12 region (United Kingdom) and became active as of 23 February 2026. The project will continue until 30 June 2027, with potential extension options available until 30 June 2028, depending on additional requirements from the central government. The awarded contract is valued at £50,000.

This tender presents a potential growth opportunity for businesses involved in water supply resilience and associated services like consulting, recruitment, and business services. The specific requirements of the contract indicate that companies with expertise in micro-credit granting services and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) focused on sustainable water management would be particularly well-suited to compete. Companies looking to provide additional support services could also benefit if the contract is extended and further resources are required. The role of Water Resources East Ltd as the supplier underscores the need for businesses with a background in water resources and sustainable practices.
