Summary: United Utilities Water Limited is seeking partners to deliver rainwater management works under its Rainwater Management Strategy. The schemes are intended to capture, reuse and manage rainwater close to where it falls, using measures such as surface conveyance, infiltration, disconnection and attenuation to slow water flows through catchments and reduce pressure on the wastewater network. Commissions may combine design and construction or be build-only, with the delivery route chosen for each scheme according to programme needs, complexity and design maturity. The framework is an interim arrangement to support immediate AMP8 delivery while United Utilities develops its longer-term delivery model. The works include drainage and surface works, ground drainage, water-project construction and environmental improvements. Delivery is across the North West of England.
