## Summary

United Utilities Water Limited has initiated a tender process for the procurement of detention tanks, with the tender title "PRO004798-Goods-Framework-Supply of Detention Tanks". This project falls under the goods category within the water industry, specifically classified under CPV code 44611500 (Water tanks). The framework aims to supply foul water detention tanks to be installed across the company's operational network to bolster storage capacity and mitigate sewage spill incidents. The procurement, currently at the Tender stage, applies a negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition. Key dates include the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) deadline on 23rd August 2024. The required types of tanks include both self-contained pre-formed 'integrated' types and multi-tank 'modular' types. The contract period will span 2880 days, and the anticipated value of the contract is £26.72 million.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in water tank manufacturing, particularly those offering standard “off the shelf” solutions meeting a set list of criteria. Not only does the framework's sizeable budget provide significant revenue potential, but the multi-year contract also offers steady demand for the supplier. Suppliers should have the ability to deliver both integrated and modular tank solutions, designed for varied storage requirements, and comply with United Utilities’ standards. This opportunity is ideal for established suppliers in the water storage industry looking to expand their market presence within the UK. Given the requirement for electronic submissions and the use of procurement documents available online, businesses adept in modern procurement processes will be well-suited to compete in this tender.

## Notice

The Company intends to award a framework (supply of goods) for the supply of foul water detention tanks which will be installed anywhere within the company operating network. The purpose of the tanks is to reduce the demand put upon wastewater treatment works by creating extra storage capacity. In periods of heavy flows, the Combined Sewer Overflows will spill into the tank. The water can then be pumped out of the detention tanks and sent to the wastewater treatment works during a period of lower demand. This will help to reduce the number of sewage spill incidents.

### Lot Information

PRO004798-Goods-Framework-Supply of Detention Tanks

The Company intends to award a framework (supply of goods) for the supply of foul water detention tanks which will be installed anywhere within the company operating network. The purpose of the tanks is to reduce the demand put upon wastewater treatment works by creating extra storage capacity. In periods of heavy flows, the Combined Sewer Overflows will spill into the tank. The water can then be pumped out of the detention tanks and sent to the wastewater treatment works during a period of lower demand. This will help to reduce the number of sewage spill incidents. The Company will request two types of tanks - a self-contained pre-formed 'integrated' type (typically for lower storage volume requirements) and a multi-tank 'modular' type (typically for higher volume requirements). The bidders will be given the required outputs (volume of water to be stored) and a list of mandatory and desirable criteria and will be asked to provide a standard "off the shelf" solution rather than working to bespoke designs in order to assist with standardisation. Additional information: PQQ Deadline is 23rd August 2024
