Framework scope

We introduced our Water Framework in 2017 to help our non-domestic customers to change their water and wastewater supplier following the opening of the water market to full competition. Our focus is helping our customers to benefit both financially and logistically from this new market.

Our framework focuses on the retailer supply of water and sewerage services and with three different routes to market and a selection of suppliers providing national coverage, it provides everything you need to procure a new water supplier.

Direct Award is possible too, as is procurement through mini-competition or competitive dialogue.

Plus, access to the additional services of AMR provision and Fix and Find water leakage services are also available.

What are the benefits of using this framework?

We provide an end-to-end service provision, running the procurement process and carrying out evaluation for you, whichever procurement option is selected. We have completed all the challenging work on your behalf by carrying out background checks on suppliers and composing a compliant only list of option.

We also know that improved customer service, improved billing and standardised terms and conditions are of importance to you when it comes to water procurement. In our framework we have focused on an improved customer service provision leading to a reduction in internal resource requirement, a standardised set of Call-Off Contract Terms and Conditions pre-agreed by all Framework suppliers and improved billing processes set around your specific requirements.
