## Summary

This procurement process involves NORTHUMBRIAN WATER LIMITED as the buying organisation, awarding a contract titled "Nereda Technology". The project focuses on upgrading the sewerage pumping station (SPS) and sewage treatment works (STW) at Brasside, Northumbria, to improve storage and treatment capacity. This is part of a services contract in the utilities sector, specifically under the plant engineering design category. The procurement process has reached the "Award" stage, with HASKONING UK LIMITED being the chosen supplier due to their proprietary ownership of the Nereda technology. The contract period is set to commence on 1st August 2026 and is slated to conclude by 31st July 2028, with potential extensions based on project progression.

The direct award procurement method was used due to the intellectual property and exclusive rights held by HASKONING UK LIMITED for the necessary technology, showing the strategic importance of having unique capabilities and proprietary solutions in the public procurement space. This contract provides growth opportunities particularly for businesses involved in plant engineering and technology services that partner in niche, high-technology projects. Businesses capable of supporting additional civil and construction elements may also find opportunities, albeit indirectly through framework partnerships adjacent to the core technology provision.

## Notice

A project is required at Brasside to upgrade the SPS and STW in order to increase storage and treatment capacity alongside process improvements. Given the complexities of the project, including a challenging site footprint, the Nerada solution was the only treatment solution suitable. As Nereda is a proprietary technology with the intellectual property owned by Haskoning there are no alternative suppliers able to provide the same process technology and as such a contract is required between NWL and Haskoning.

### Procurement Information

As Nereda is a proprietary technology with the intellectual property owned by Haskoning there are no alternative suppliers able to provide the same process technology. We will use framework partners to procure the civil and construction elements. However, we will need appoint Haskoning directly as they own the intellectual property (IP), software, and process patents meaning Haskoning are the only ones who can provide the controller software (Aquasuite), deliver the process design validation, and the core internals of the solution. As detailed above, it is recognised that Nereda is a proprietary process technology and Haskoning is the technology provider, where the technology elements relate to process design, control philosophy, and performance optimisation. There is no alternative to that element of the solution. In addition, future modifications or upgrades to the core process are likely to require input from Haskoning to maintain performance compliance and protect the integrity of the system.
