UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

United Utilities Water Limited intends to procure a digital solution for biosolids recycling, together with related software implementation and support services. The work centres on managing biosolids and their recycling, with associated industry-specific software and environmental and regulatory advice. It is a services procurement, combining technology delivery with operational and sector expertise. The stated delivery location is the United Kingdom. Suppliers should consider whether they can provide a biosolids management platform and the associated implementation and service support, rather than software alone. The requirement also encompasses sludge disposal services and environmental issues consultancy, so relevant suppliers may include specialist software providers, implementation partners, biosolids and waste-management businesses, or teams combining these capabilities.

This procurement is at the planning stage: United Utilities has set out an intention to buy, but has not yet issued an invitation to tender. It expects to use a competitive flexible procedure, with a selective process. The buyer’s indicative timetable gives 9 October 2026 as the expression-of-interest date, 15 January 2027 as the expected end of the award period, and a contract period from 1 July 2027 to 30 June 2030. The procurement is above the applicable threshold. It is structured as one lot. Evaluation is expected to consider, in ranked order, the solution’s technical capability and functionality, regulatory, compliance and industry advisory capability, whole-life cost, and implementation, customer support and service delivery arrangements.

The work is most relevant to suppliers with proven digital products for biosolids management and recycling, particularly those able to support the operational needs of a water utility. Strong contenders are likely to combine software capability with practical implementation, integration and ongoing customer support, and to demonstrate reliable service delivery. Regulatory and compliance expertise in the biosolids and sludge sector, along with the ability to advise on industry requirements and environmental issues, will also be important. Suppliers whose strengths cover only generic software may be less well placed than specialist providers or partnerships that bring together technology, implementation and sector advisory skills. The buyer’s stated priorities point to a need to show both technical functionality and credible delivery arrangements, while making a persuasive whole-life cost case.}END AIsummary endliation
