## Summary

Southern Water Services Ltd., based in Worthing, UK, is overseeing the procurement process titled "Southern Water S&I - Site Information & Conditional Surveys Framework", focusing on architectural, engineering, and surveying services. The primary procurement category is services, covering topographical surveys and aerial survey services. The framework includes two lots: Topographic and below ground surveys, and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and above ground surveys. This procurement operates under a selective method with a negotiated procedure following a prior call for competition. The tender process initiated with the award stage, as contracts have been actively signed, completed by September 2025. The contract value totals several million GBP, with a possible framework agreement duration of up to 8 years.

This procurement framework presents significant growth opportunities for businesses engaged in surveying services, particularly those specialising in UAV technology or ground surveys. The process, offering a substantial financial commitment from Southern Water, favours businesses with technical expertise in geospatial and mapping services. Given the selective procedure and emphasis on quality, SMEs with a proven track record in delivering high-quality surveying and data capture services stand to benefit significantly. Participating businesses could secure long-term engagements, enhancing their market presence and capacity for service delivery in the United Kingdom's water infrastructure sector.
