## Summary

United Utilities Water Limited, based in Warrington, United Kingdom, initiated the tender process titled "PRO004920-Services-Framework-Mechanical Services", focusing on mechanical services. The procurement covers a framework for maintenance activities, including mechanical repairs, fabrication, gearbox repairs, screens and handling equipment overhaul, and supply of fabricated parts, divided into five lots. The procurement follows an open competitive procurement method under a multi-stage process, including conditions of participation, invitation to negotiate, and best and final offer. Although initially active with a submission deadline on 15th April 2026, the tender was ultimately cancelled due to material changes in selection criteria as of 27th April 2026.

This procurement process offered significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in mechanical engineering services, repair, and maintenance work. Small and medium-sized enterprises could have found substantial opportunities in manufacturing and installation tasks with strict adherence to British Standards and United Utilities standards. The scope of the tender suggested collaborations for bespoke component manufacture, proactive and reactive maintenance, and extensive servicing needs within the utility’s operational areas. Despite its cancellation, similar opportunities could benefit firms with expertise in welding, gear system overhauls, and screening equipment repairs as they aim to secure future projects within this sector.
