The project, valued at approximately £700 million, involves two distinct tenders: one for technical partners to aid in the design and development of plants in Bacton, Norfolk, and Mablethorpe, Lincolnshire, and another for a Competitively Appointed Provider (CAP) using the Ofwat's Direct Procurement for Customers (DPC) approach to deliver the Bacton project. Responses for the Prior Information Notice (PIN) are welcomed until 24th January 2025, with market engagement meetings planned to start in early 2025. The technical provider tenders are expected to launch in 2025, while the CAP tender is anticipated around late 2027 or early 2028, contingent upon procurement strategy and project requirements. The projects fall under the industry category of construction work and are aimed at enhancing long-term water supply resilience in the specified regions. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in construction and financing of large-scale infrastructure projects, particularly those with expertise in water treatment and desalination in compliance with UK water industry standards. Companies with experience in Design, Build, Finance, Operate, and Maintain (DBFOM) contracts and familiarity with Public-Private Partnerships (PPP), Private Finance Initiative (PFI), or Direct Procurement for Customers (DPC) schemes are well-suited to compete. By participating in this procurement, businesses can expand their portfolio, enhance their market presence, and contribute to critical infrastructure development. Businesses interested in this opportunity should prepare to engage in the procurement process and demonstrate their capability to deliver on Anglian Water’s strategic objectives for sustainable water supply solutions. ## Notice Anglian Water are looking to develop up to three Desalination Plants in our region. We are currently planning on running two tenders for this requirement. One tender for two technical partners to assist with the development and design of two Desalination Plants (Bacton & Mablethorpe) and another tender for a Competitively Appointed Provider (CAP) to deliver the Bacton project. Anglian Water are looking to test the market interest for the development, design, build, financing, operation and maintenance of the projects. The expected date for the CAP tender launch is circa late 2027/early 2028 and we want to appoint Desalination Technical Providers in 2025. The CAP date is currently contingent upon: - the procurement strategy selected following the market engagement - the required in-service date for the project which will be confirmed by early to mid 2027 The CAP will be procured using Ofwat's Direct Procurement for Customers (DPC) approach. Please see the 'Market Engagement Information Pack' for further detail and clarification. A declaration of interest and more information on these two projects can be provided to PIN respondents by emailing AWDesal@anglianwater.co.uk Please note, this PIN is in relation to both tenders. The details on the tender LOTS given are for the Desalination Technical Partner, however, we are also looking to engage in respect of the wider procurement strategy including for the DPC for the CAP. ### Lot Information Desalination Technical Provider Bacton Anglian Water is planning to deliver a Desalination Plant in Norfolk (Bacton) to provide long-term water supply resilience to the region.
