## Summary

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency bought water management services to identify water-conservation savings and operational efficiencies. The requirement sits alongside the agency’s contracted water supply and concerns management services rather than the supply of water itself. The service is categorised as water distribution and related services. Delivery covers the United Kingdom. This is a central-government requirement, relevant to businesses that assess water use, identify avoidable consumption and costs, and recommend or implement efficiency improvements for public-sector estates. Suppliers with experience of analysing water demand, developing conservation measures and working with organisations that have existing utility-supply arrangements are the closest fit. The procurement covered one service requirement, rather than separate geographic or technical lots.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a direct award. The agency used an alternative agreement because the Government Commercial Authority’s aggregated water-supply arrangement did not include water-management services. Advanced Demand Side Management Limited was awarded the contract on 12 August 2026. The contract runs from 12 August 2026 to 31 May 2029. Its value is £216,000 excluding VAT, or £259,200 including VAT. The award and contract are active. The requirement was above the relevant threshold. The published data identifies the direct-award route and its rationale, but does not set out separate quality, price or other evaluation criteria. The contract was signed on 12 August 2026.

This award demonstrates demand from a central-government buyer for specialist water-management support linked to an existing aggregated water-supply arrangement. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to diagnose water use across operational sites, quantify conservation opportunities and translate findings into practical efficiency measures. Relevant capability includes water-demand analysis, leakage or consumption assessment, savings identification, benefits calculation and advice that can work alongside an incumbent water-supply contract. Suppliers should also be able to operate within public-sector commercial arrangements and explain how their recommendations produce measurable efficiencies. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that this type of specialist service can be delivered by a focused smaller business rather than only a large utility provider. Experience of central-government procurement would strengthen a competing proposition.

### Procurement Information

DVSAs water supply is contracted following Government Commercial Authority (GCA) (previously CCS) Aggregation for supply. However the Aggregation does not include water management services and therefore they need to be covered by alternative agreement.
