Description

Water Services Regulation Services (Ofwat) is the economic regulator of the water sector in England and Wales.

Ofwat spends over £2m each year on consultancy and similar professional services, as we look to the wider world to enhance our knowledge and understanding of the industry that we regulate.

Ofwat will now be creating it's own framework agreement, to bring in consultancy services over the next 3 years, with an option to extend for an additional year. We propose to split it into the following Lots:

1) Economic
2) Environment
3) Financial
4) Water Engineering, Science and Technology
5) Policy and Regulatory Development and Implementation
6) Programme and Project Management
7) Market research

We are still shaping our requirements so this is an early notification of our intention to go to tender early next year, 2021.

All information will be issued in due course on our e-procurement portal, MyTenders, which is free for suppliers to register.
