NEPO, CCS, YPO, TEC, ESPO, West Mercia Energy and the MOD have worked in collaboration to bring to market the largest public sector framework agreement in the UK for water supply, wastewater and ancillary services.
From 01 April 2017 onwards eligible* non-household customers will be able to choose their supplier of water, wastewater and ancillary services. (*Eligible customers are non-household premises that pay business rates)
In addition to supply and sewerage services, this framework provides access to a range of ancillary services focussed on supporting delivery of water efficiency measures to reduce consumption and improve resilience.
Benefits of this framework agreement include:
- Greater choice and flexibility
- Quicker route to market
- Procurement with confidence through a fully EU compliant offering
- Reduced procurement costs and resources
- Range and choice of supplier
- Template documentation
- Predetermined and standardised terms and conditions
NEPO intends to carry out a further competition via this framework in Autumn 2017. Any interested Member Authorities/Associate Members should inform NEPO if they wish to be included in this process.
