## Summary

Anglian Water Services Limited has awarded a contract for Regulatory Assurance Services, targeting external validation and audit-ready reporting crucial for Ofwat's Price Control Deliverables under the PR24 framework. Located in Huntingdon, the buyer chose Aqua Consultants Limited and Jacobs U.K. Limited as suppliers, both large organisations, with the contract’s gross value being £4.8 million, stretching over a potential eight-year period starting from 3 April 2026. The procurement process followed an open procedure, with framework agreements ensuring future service continuity, and contains options for a primary and secondary supplier setup.

The tender provides significant openings for businesses specialising in internal audit services, particularly those capable of delivering accurate and traceable reports supporting regulatory submissions. Companies with expertise in regulatory assurance and audit services, particularly those adept at handling complex utility sector requirements, would be well-suited to compete and thrive through partnership with Anglian Water. The project allows for flexibility in contract extensions, ensuring ongoing scope for companies that meet performance indicators and need-based requirements to engage in ad-hoc assurance projects outside the primary tasks.

## Notice

AWS seeks to engage an experienced and independent assurance provider to support the organisation in demonstrating the delivery of Ofwat's Price Control Deliverables under the PR24 framework as well as supporting ad-hoc assurance projects. The assurance partner will work alongside internal delivery teams but will retain a clear separation from programme execution, offering external validation and audit-ready reporting that underpins regulatory submissions. The supplier will ensure that evidence provided to Ofwat meets required standards of accuracy, traceability, and defensibility. The total estimated expenditure over the full potential eight-year duration is PS4 million.

### Lot Information

Renewal: Anglian Water is looking to award a contract to deliver the requirements an initial 5 years with the ability to extend for further periods of one year each or for any alternative periods and not expiring later than 8 years from the contract date.
