Summary of the contracting process

Anglian Water Services is procuring a single-supplier catalogue and store-card solution for maintenance, repair and operational (MRO) goods used by its technicians. The requirement covers hand tools, power tools, mechanical spares, electrical spares, lubricants and non-process chemicals, including associated items such as cables, batteries, gaskets, seals, pressure gauges and sensors. The main service is an Ariba-hosted catalogue accessed through Guided Buying, with an optional over-the-counter store card for urgent purchases while technicians are on the road. Catalogue orders must support delivery to Anglian Water sites, premises and technicians’ home addresses across the Anglian Water region. Any store card must provide detailed management information, while the catalogue solution must support swift, preferably next-day delivery.

The procurement has reached tender: Anglian Water invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure, using a two-stage request for information (RFI) and request for proposals (RFP) process. Enquiries had to be submitted by 7 October 2026 at 22:00 UTC and offers by 14 October 2026 at 22:00 UTC. The estimated value is £14,000,000 excluding VAT, or £16,800,000 including VAT. This is one lot and a closed framework for up to three suppliers. The contract period is 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2029, with an option to extend by up to six months, to 31 July 2029. Award decisions are due by 8 January 2027 at 23:59:59 UTC. Evaluation is 70% qualitative and 30% price, with pricing based on a basket of goods.

This opportunity suits established MRO distributors, industrial suppliers and trade merchants able to provide a broad range of hand and power tools, mechanical and electrical spares, lubricants and chemicals through a managed electronic catalogue. Strong candidates will need reliable catalogue and Guided Buying integration, accurate product information, responsive order management and the operational capacity to deliver quickly across the Anglian Water region, including to dispersed sites and technicians’ homes. Suppliers offering an over-the-counter store card should be able to support urgent road-side purchasing and produce detailed management information. The framework rewards quality more heavily than price, so bidders should demonstrate service capability, product range, availability, fulfilment performance and the ability to identify products that are best suited to particular water and wastewater requirements.
