## Summary

The procurement process involves the Water Services Regulation Authority (Ofwat) seeking one engineer to support a targeted review of asset resilience within the water sector. This tender, titled "One Engineer to Work on Asset Resilience," falls under the general management consultancy services category and is located in Birmingham, UK. The contract, valued at £46,250, was awarded on 21 August 2019, following a selective procurement method through a framework agreement. The contract period runs from 2 September 2019 to 13 December 2019, with the tender period closing on 14 August 2019.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in engineering consultancy, particularly those with expertise in the water industry and a strong background in operational resilience and asset health. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited to compete, especially if they can demonstrate relevant experience and flexibility to adapt to emerging project requirements. Engaging in this contract could help businesses expand their portfolio and gain valuable insights into regulatory frameworks while contributing to the resilience strategy in the water sector.

## Notice

This role is intended to provide support in the Strategy Hub on a targeted review of the sector's Asset Resilience. Our draft discussion document indicated the need for a targeted review on asset health. We have begun an initial review of 3 companies, with the intention of refining our approach and extending this to the sector late Autumn. We are looking for someone to support analysis of asset information, and the shaping of next steps. Due to the technical nature of the request, we expect the successful candidate to have extensive engineering and water industry experience, as well as a broader strategic understanding of resilience and regulation. The candidate is expected to be able to get up to speed with Ofwat's current policy position and our emerging future position, and be able to recommend future actions related to operational resilience and asset health. There will likely be additional tasks in relation to developing the strategy that will arise as the work progresses. We expect the chosen candidate to be flexible in responding to the needs of the project. Additional information: For Further Information,please contact procurement@ofwat.gov.uk
