## Summary

The University of Cumbria has appointed an alternative supplier for water and wastewater services under its existing utility provision arrangements. The requirement is for the operation and supply of water services, with delivery locations recorded across England. The University accessed the TEC Water Framework, which is available to its members for utility provision. This is a service contract for the University rather than a works project or a purchase of equipment. The stated scope is water and wastewater services; the published classification is CPV 65130000, operation of water supplies.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Anglian Water Business (National) Limited, trading as Wave. The University used a limited procedure without a prior call for competition, moving an existing contract to an alternative supplier through the TEC Water Framework TECPROC029. The award followed one bid, and the stated award criterion was price. The contract was signed on 7 October 2026 and is active, with a recorded value of £338,360. The source states that cost is estimated annually. The process was organised as one lot for water and wastewater services; that lot is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active.

For water suppliers, this outcome demonstrates that the University of Cumbria buys water and wastewater services through a utility framework and may switch provider within an existing contract arrangement. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply and manage water services across the University’s recorded English delivery locations, and be eligible to participate through the relevant framework route. Price was the stated basis for evaluation, so competitive pricing would be central to a comparable procurement. The selected supplier is a large water business, indicating that the requirement was awarded to an established provider able to serve this multi-location public-sector customer. Suppliers whose offer is limited to unrelated utilities or a narrow local service area are less closely aligned with this requirement.
