## Summary

The University of Chester procured water, wastewater and ancillary services through the TEC Water Framework, with TEC tendering the framework on behalf of LUPC as contracting authority. The requirement covers the distribution and management of water and wastewater services, together with associated services, for delivery in the North West of England. It is a services contract under CPV 65100000, covering the university’s operational water-service needs. Anglian Water Business (National) Limited, trading as Wave, was appointed as the sole supplier under the framework. The arrangement is relevant to water companies, utilities providers and specialist suppliers able to manage customer water and wastewater requirements across an institutional estate, including associated support services delivered through a public-sector framework.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Anglian Water Business (National) Limited trading as Wave on 11 June 2026. The award value is £700,000, rounded up, and the contract runs from 12 June 2026 to 26 October 2028. The procurement used a selective method as a call-off from the TEC Water Framework, rather than an open competition for the individual requirement. The tender submission deadline was 8 June 2026 at 10:00. Wave is the sole appointed supplier, so the award was not divided between multiple suppliers or lots. The University of Chester is the buyer. The framework route and the stated value indicate a defined institutional services requirement managed through an established purchasing arrangement.

This procurement shows demand from the University of Chester for an integrated water-services supplier able to provide water distribution, wastewater services and ancillary support through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the operational capability, regulatory standing and infrastructure to manage reliable water and wastewater provision for a university or comparable institutional estate in the North West. The sole-supplier award indicates that the buyer sought one provider able to take overall responsibility rather than several narrowly focused contractors. Suppliers should therefore be able to demonstrate broad service coverage, robust account management, continuity of supply and experience working with public-sector customers. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, although the selected supplier is a large business.
