The tender, titled "Lincolnshire & Fens Reservoir Programme - Aggregates and Minerals Supply," focuses on the supply of essential aggregates and minerals for the construction of regional reservoir schemes. The procurement is part of strategic efforts to enhance water security in the East of England. Key deadlines include a preliminary market engagement ending on 19th September 2025. This procurement falls under the goods category, targeting suppliers able to deliver high-quality materials across the UK and possibly extending to Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in the supply of gravel, sand, crushed stone, and construction minerals. Firms with a strong background in meeting geochemical and structural specifications for construction materials would be well-suited to respond. Participation in this procurement could lead to substantial contracts given the large scale of materials required. Suppliers capable of competitive delivery logistics across multiple regions are likely to benefit the most from this opportunity for growth within the public utility sector. ## Notice Background The Water Resources East regional planning and the Water Resource Management Planning of Anglian Water and Cambridge Water have selected the Fens and Lincolnshire reservoir schemes as low-regret Strategic Resource Options (SRO) to improve water security and meet societal and environmental outcomes. Scope - Supply of Aggregates and Minerals Anglian Water Services (AWS) recognises the supply of aggregates for drainage within the earth embankment as a critical component of the reservoir and the largest single source of imported materials. The selection of the aggregate will encompass adherence to the specification on grading and strength, but also geochemical properties. Experience on previous reservoir and dam projects has shown this to be a critical factor in satisfactory performance of the embankments. As part of the procurement strategy, it is considered necessary to investigate potential sources of aggregate supply at this early stage. Consequently, we are seeking expressions of interest for providing these quantities in accordance with the programme. Materials will need to meet the Specification, and we invite interested parties to complete the Market Engagement Questionnaire. ### Planning Information The Market Engagement Pack includes three essential documents: 1.
