## Summary

The Havant Thicket Reservoir Project – Main Works Pipeline has been completed and awarded to Ward & Burke Construction Limited by Portsmouth Water Limited in the UK. The project involves the construction of a 4.6km long pipeline to increase water resilience in the South East. Construction is set to start in 2024 with completion expected by 2029. The total contract value is £41,014,620 GBP.

This public procurement opportunity offers business growth potential for companies involved in construction, water projects, and related services. The procurement method used was a negotiated procedure with prior call for competition, and the award status is active. Businesses specialising in pipelines, construction work, water distribution, and engineering services are well-suited to compete for opportunities within this project.

## Notice

This represents a flagship project to construct the first new strategic water resource, and corresponding pipeline, in the South East for decades. Construction work is anticipated to start on the Havant Thicket Reservoir Project (the "Project") in 2024, for completion by 2029. The Project is the product of collaborative regional water planning particularly between Portsmouth Water and Southern Water, and forms a key step in increasing water resilience in the South East. The procurement of the main works contractor for pipeline construction works was carried out together with the procurement of the framework agreement for wider design services, together advertised in FTS Contract Notice 2021/S 000-000072. However, this award notice relates only to the award of the main pipeline works contract. It is anticipated that the framework agreement will be the subject of a separate award notice once the framework agreement has been completed.
