Details

United Utilities is seeking to establish a multi-supplier framework for the provision of Operational Technology (OT) Build Only Works across its water and wastewater infrastructure assets. The framework will support the delivery of OT installation, integration, commissioning and associated build activities required to maintain, enhance and expand operational technology systems across a range of operational sites. The framework is intended to provide access to suitably qualified and experienced suppliers capable of delivering safe, efficient and high-quality OT build services, supporting United Utilities' operational and capital investment programmes. The procurement will be undertaken using a Competitive Flexible Procedure and will comprise a Conditions of Participation Questionnaire (COPQ) stage followed by an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) stage for suppliers who successfully meet the conditions of participation and are shortlisted to proceed. Successful suppliers appointed to the framework may be invited to compete for individual call-off contracts covering a range of OT Build Only Works requirements across water and wastewater treatment works, pumping stations, network assets and other operational facilities within the United Utilities operational area.

Documents

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this water & environment opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
