Summary of the contracting process

Affinity Water Limited bought a no-dig injection system and solution for repairing leaks in water pipes. The requirement is for the supply of the system and repair solution under a framework agreement, enabling Affinity Water to call off supplies as needed. The delivery location is described as Hertfordshire, London, Kent and Essex. This is a supply of specialist pipe-leak repair equipment and materials, rather than a general construction project. The contracting process covered one lot for the no-dig system and solution.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. Affinity Water awarded the contract to Origin Tech Limited. The contract is active and was signed on 1 October 2026. Its recorded value is £727,992. The procurement used a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition, on the stated basis that only Origin Tech could provide the system and solution because of exclusive rights. One bid was recorded for the lot. The lot is marked cancelled in the tender information, while the award and contract information records an active contract; these status entries conflict, although the published outcome names Origin Tech as supplier.

For suppliers assessing future demand from Affinity Water, this award demonstrates a requirement for a specialist no-dig injection system and solution to repair water-pipe leaks across Hertfordshire, London, Kent and Essex. The buyer relied on a supplier it considered the only provider able to supply the system, citing exclusive rights. A credible competitor would therefore need to show that it can supply the required system and repair solution and address the buyer’s rights-related rationale, as well as meet the operational need for pipe-leak repairs across this service area. The framework route indicates a requirement suited to call-off supply rather than a single general construction contract. One bid was recorded, and no SME bids were recorded.
