UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Anglian Water Services is exploring an enterprise resource planning (ERP) and works management solution. The proposed service would support operational planning and scheduling, contractor and fleet management, biosolids movements, compliance, reporting, integrations and wider works management activities. This is an information technology services requirement, covering software, consultancy, implementation and support. The solution is intended to align with Anglian Water’s regulatory duties and broader business outcomes, and to be commercially robust and scalable. The buyer is Anglian Water Services, a private water utility based in Huntingdon. The procurement is currently at the early market-engagement stage, so the final scope and delivery model are still being informed by supplier input rather than offered as a defined contract.

This is a planned procurement at the market-engagement stage, not an invitation to tender. Anglian Water is seeking information on market capabilities, service features, delivery and implementation models, and commercial options to inform its future requirements, procurement strategy and route to market. Responses to the engagement are expected by 1 September 2026. The buyer’s current expectation is that a subsequent notice will be issued around 1 September 2027. One planned lot has an indicative contract period from 1 September 2028 to 2 September 2030. The stated estimated value is £0, although this engagement is intended to help shape the eventual commercial model and requirements. Supplier questions and responses are handled through the Ariba messaging function and portal Q&A process.

The engagement will suit ERP providers, works-management software specialists, systems integrators, implementation partners and managed-service businesses able to support a major regulated utility. Relevant suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate operational planning and scheduling, contractor and fleet management, biosolids logistics, compliance controls, reporting, data and system integrations, and broader works-management functionality. Experience of delivering scalable enterprise platforms and explaining different implementation approaches will be useful, as will the ability to offer commercially robust service models. Suppliers with utility-sector, regulatory or asset-intensive operational experience are likely to be well placed to contribute. This stage is for preparation and information gathering: participation will help inform the future requirement, but it is not currently a contract opportunity to bid for.
