AWS, the largest water and water recycling company in England and Wales, intends to increase sludge treatment capacity between 2025-2030 due to population growth and environmental investment programs. The tender falls under the services category and focuses on sewage, refuse, cleaning, and environmental services. The procurement stage is currently planned, with a closing date for the tender period set for April 30, 2023. This tender from AWS presents opportunities for businesses specializing in sewage treatment, waste management, and environmental services. Companies with expertise in treating sewage sludge and managing bio-products would be well-suited to compete. The procurement process aims to address the need for additional sludge treatment capacity due to future growth projections. Business entities offering innovative solutions in sludge treatment technologies, recycling products, and providing sustainable waste management services stand to benefit from participating in this tender. ## Notice Anglian Water Services Ltd (AWS) produces over 150,000 dry tonnes of raw wastewater derived sludge per annum for treatment. Forecast population growth and increased sludge production as a result of future environmental investment programmes means our total sludge production will increase. Therefore we have a need for additional sludge treatment capacity in our AMP8 investment period (2025-2030). AWS is the largest water and water recycling company in England and Wales by geographic area. We supply water and water recycling services to almost seven million people in the East of England and Hartlepool. Our sludge treatment boundaries cover from the Humber in the north to the Thames in the south, from Northampton in the west and across to the East Coast. We also provide water services ONLY to the Hartlepool area.

This is derived from a range of Wastewater Treatment Works (WwTW) with sludge types including: * Primary sludge * Secondary sludge * Co-settled sludge (mix of primary and secondary) Currently sludge produced by our water recycling operations is treated at ten regional sludge treatment centres (STC). The sludge is received at these centres is a number of forms including; a mix of raw, un-screened, screened, un-thickened, thickened liquid and screened dewatered cake. We would expect any solution for the new required capacity to be able to receive this same full range of sludge types. The wastewater treatment processes varies and includes biological and chemical phosphorus removal technologies. We are seeking solutions for the treatment of sewage sludge and management of products, bi-products and residual solids We are open to considering options that fulfil the entire 23,000TDS need or part of, although we would only consider proposals that could guarantee a minimum of 5,000 tds per annum or above. We are open to opportunities where sludge can be combined with other feedstock's. We are also interested in options to provide "turn-key" solutions, which include provision of finance and operating services, alongside providing upfront design and build services. Any proposals involving recycling products to agricultural land would need to fully comply with all appropriate legislation & codes of practise, including the Safe Sludge Matrix and BAS Standard. We are open to the idea the treated material (Biosolids Products) is returned to AWS for onward recycling through our Nutri-Bio brand where this product is intended for recycling to agricultural markets. Services for treatment of our sludge do not need to be co-located within our existing operations. However, we wish to highlight that our sites at Gt Billing (Northampton), Colchester and Whitlingham (Norwich) have the potential available land to be co-located with our existing facilities, other sites across the AWS area may also be of interest. Currently our sewage sludge is predominately treated at 10 STC's using advanced anaerobic digestion technology, producing a high quality biosolids cake for recycling to agriculture as a soil conditioner under our Nutri-bio brand. The products are certified under the BAS (Biosolids Assurance Scheme). We are open and encourage alternative treatment technologies that open up new markets offering alternative outlets to agricultural land application. Details of our Water Recycling sites (WRC) that produce sludge and our existing Sludge Treatment Centre (STC) sites can be found in our published market information on our website. Following closure of the PIN we will hold a follow up webinar (via MS Teams) for interested parties.
