The equipment will form the pump sump, support and inlet structure. The pumps must provide a broad range of flow rates at their design heads and safe passage for eels and fish, delivering a Best Achievable Eel Protection solution that reduces fish deaths and injuries and improves downstream passage. The requirement also includes testing and supplying information for the Health and Safety File and Operations and Maintenance Manual. The Water Management Alliance will oversee the procurement, with Turner & Townsend providing procurement advice. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. This is a planned procurement, not an invitation to tender. The buyer expects to use an open competitive flexible procedure for one lot, with electronic submissions in English. The indicative enquiry period is expected to end on 12 October 2026, tender submissions on 20 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and evaluation on 27 October 2026. The buyer expects the contract to run from 6 November 2026 to 1 September 2027. Estimated value is £390,000 excluding VAT, or £468,000 including VAT. The procedure will assess pass/fail requirements before evaluating quality and price against a price list. The buyer intends to award after initial tenders, but may use one round of structured negotiation and/or best and final offers if required. A future notice is expected on 25 September 2026. The work is likely to suit pump manufacturers, engineered equipment suppliers and specialist precast concrete manufacturers able to provide an integrated design, fabrication, testing, supply and delivery service. Strong candidates will need experience designing and producing pumping-station equipment, matching pumps to specified design heads and flow ranges, and developing durable, low-maintenance solutions. Capability in fish and eel protection is important, particularly solutions that support safe downstream passage and reduce injury and mortality. Suppliers should be able to prepare reliable technical information for health and safety documentation and operations and maintenance manuals, alongside quality and pricing submissions. The requirement is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to capable specialist firms as well as larger engineering businesses. ## Notice This procurement covers the design, manufacture, fabrication, providing, supplying and delivery of two pumps and pre-cast concrete units (PCCU) that form the pump sump, support and inlet structure for the new pumping station for the North Wootton pumping station replacement project.
