## Summary

United Utilities Water Limited, a private utility company located in Great Sankey, United Kingdom, has undertaken a procurement process for the "Engineering Software" contract. The tender involves an enterprise agreement for the Bentley Systems suite, which covers ProjectWise, AssetWise, Open Ground, and other desktop applications crucial for engineering operations. The procurement method used is a direct award due to the requirement for an extension of existing services, with the rationale being that an alternative supplier would incur disproportionately high costs in redesign and integration. The procurement process reached the award stage, with the contract period set from 1st October 2025 to 30th September 2026. The key procurement category is services, and the award was publicly announced on 12th September 2025.

This contract offers significant business growth opportunities for firms in the software engineering and consultancy sectors, particularly those providing specialised engineering software solutions. Given the scale and nature of the project, it is well-suited for large enterprises or companies with the capacity to offer extensive service support and consultancy. Engaging in such contracts can broaden a business's portfolio, providing exposure to complex utility projects and establishing long-standing relationships with major utilities like United Utilities Water Limited.
