## Summary

Cleveland Fire Authority has completed a procurement process for Water Retail Services, under a direct award from the NEPO311 sole-supplier framework agreement. This contract, awarded to Anglian Water Business (National) Limited trading as Wave, focuses on water distribution and related services and is situated in the North East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement, labelled under the CPV code 65100000, has shifted from the tender stage to award stage as of 1st May 2025, following the tender period’s conclusion on 30th April 2025. This selective procurement method involved a call-off from an existing framework agreement, with a total contract value of £249,000 and spanning from 1st May 2025 to 31st March 2029.

This procurement presents significant business opportunities within the water services industry, particularly for large-scale companies similar to Anglian Water Business, which can efficiently deliver water retail and related services. As this procurement was managed through a framework agreement, it demonstrates how established businesses with a track record in this sector can leverage pre-existing governmental contracts to ensure service continuity and foster growth. Firms capable of offering competitive pricing and efficient resource management stand to benefit from such selective procurement processes, which favour entities already part of framework agreements over newcomers or smaller enterprises.
