Summary of the contracting process

United Utilities Water Limited is procuring process equipment solutions for its wastewater and potable water operations. The requirement covers goods for municipal and industrial wastewater treatment, including aeration, filtration, moving bed biofilm reactor, automation and Lamella systems. It also covers equipment used to treat, store and distribute drinking water. Depending on the lot, suppliers may need to supply, install, commission, maintain, refurbish, repair, replace or upgrade the equipment. The work is for sites across the United Kingdom, with the wastewater requirement focused on wastewater treatment sites and the potable water requirement on drinking-water infrastructure. This is a goods procurement under the utilities regime, divided into separate wastewater and potable water parts.

The procurement has reached tender: United Utilities invited suppliers to apply through an open procedure to join a dynamic market for process equipment. Applications may be submitted electronically, with the stated deadline of 1 August 2040 at 23:59. The resulting dynamic market is planned to run from 30 October 2026 at 23:59 to 1 August 2040 at 23:59. It has two parts: wastewater process equipment and potable water process equipment, and suppliers can be considered for either requirement. Each part uses economic and technical selection criteria, with the detailed requirements set out in the procurement documents. The arrangement is intended for utility buyers and future opportunities are restricted to market members.

This opportunity suits equipment manufacturers, specialist process-engineering suppliers, installation contractors and maintenance providers serving the water sector. Relevant capability includes designing or supplying wastewater treatment equipment such as aeration, filtration, moving bed biofilm reactor, automation and Lamella systems, or supplying equipment for potable-water treatment, storage and distribution. Businesses should be able to provide the services associated with their equipment, including installation, commissioning, maintenance, refurbishment, repair, replacement and upgrades. The buyer identifies the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so it may suit focused specialists as well as larger integrated providers. Suppliers will need to demonstrate both economic capacity and technical capability against the procurement documentation.
