## Summary

The procurement process for the "Aquafund Grant Agreement" involves Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council as the buying organisation. The tender falls under the services industry category, specifically focusing on the operation of water supplies (CPV code: 65130000). The location for this procurement is Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom. This contract has already reached the award stage, with completion marked on 2nd June 2025. The procurement method is categorised as "Other," and the contractual period spans from 3rd June 2025 to 15th January 2029, with an award value of £40,000. The buyer awarded the contract to a large-scale supplier, ADSM, maintaining the procurement's status as active.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the water supply operation services industry to grow by collaborating with local councils. Although the main supplier is a large-scale enterprise, the procurement process had suitability considerations for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), potentially providing avenues for smaller businesses to engage in future similar opportunities. Companies experienced in managing or operating regional water supplies, particularly those based in or familiar with Yorkshire and the Humber, would find this a well-suited opportunity to establish a foothold within regional public sector contracts.
