Summary of the contracting process

Dwr Cymru Cyfyngedig is procuring LPCB-certified physical security equipment and associated services to protect critical clean-water and wastewater infrastructure from unauthorised access, vandalism, theft, sabotage and contamination. The scope covers five product areas: security-rated covers; single and double entry doors; bar sets, cages and steel enclosures; GRP kiosks and enclosures; and roller shutter doors. Suppliers will supply, install and support the equipment, with optional maintenance. They must also carry out site surveys and prepare site plans, recommending measures that meet Drinking Water Inspectorate standards and the required LPCB security rating. The framework is intended for assets including reservoirs, treatment works, pumping stations and service reservoirs. The buyer is Dwr Cymru Cyfyngedig, also known as Welsh Water.

The process has reached tender: Dwr Cymru invited offers through a selective competitive flexible procedure under the Procurement Act 2023. It comprises a Conditions of Participation stage followed by two ITT rounds, with possible clarification, negotiation and down-selection before final tenders are assessed. Expressions of interest were due by 12 October 2026 at 23:59. The estimated procurement value is £5,290,000 excluding VAT and £6,348,000 including VAT. There are five lots, covering covers, entry doors, bar sets/cages/steel enclosures, GRP enclosures and roller shutter doors. Each lot is listed with the same value. The framework contract period is 1 March 2027 to 1 March 2032, with extensions possible to 1 March 2035. Award is due by 1 February 2027. Price carries 60% and technical quality 40%.

This opportunity suits manufacturers, specialist security-equipment suppliers and installation contractors able to provide LPCB-certified products for water and wastewater infrastructure. Relevant capability includes designing and supplying certified covers, doors, enclosures, cages, bar sets or roller shutters, together with installation and aftercare. Suppliers should be able to survey operational sites, produce site plans and recommend security measures against the required LPCB rating and Drinking Water Inspectorate standards. The procurement is divided into focused product lots, each marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so a business may be well placed to compete in one specialist area rather than across the whole range. The framework will appoint two bidders per lot on a primary and secondary basis, with the primary supplier normally receiving direct-award call-offs.
