## Summary

United Utilities Water Limited has completed a procurement process for the supply of Polychem storm tank chain and flight scraper system components, aimed at refurbishing sludge collection (storm tank) systems at Birkenhead and Bromborough Wastewater Works in the United Kingdom. The procurement, operating under the industry category of private utilities, was conducted using a direct award method due to the unique non-metallic system benefits provided by the Brentwood 'Polychem' system, enhancing corrosion protection and reducing operational risks. The contract was awarded to Brentwood Europe Limited, with a gross value of £720,000. The process progressed to the award stage on 28th May 2026, with the contract period set from 15th June 2026 to 31st December 2026.

This tender presents significant business opportunities for companies specialising in non-metallic system solutions, particularly those focusing on providing advanced corrosion-resistant technologies. Businesses within the small and medium enterprise sector, along with those equipped to meet technical specifications with urgency, are well-positioned to benefit from such direct award contracts. The focus on reducing whole-life costs and enhancing operational efficiency through innovative, high-performance materials makes this a lucrative opportunity for companies seeking to expand their market presence in utility infrastructure refurbishments.

### Procurement Information

The Brentwood 'Polychem' system provides a fully non-metallic system (submerged components) giving enhanced corrosion protection versus metallic alternatives. This option decreases whole-life cost and operational risk, making the alternatives impracticable from both a performance and asset-protection standpoint.
