Scheme Summary

United Utilities has made a direct award to Bentley Systems for its ProjectWise, AssetWise and OpenGround engineering software suite, published as a UK6 contract award notice on 21 August 2026 — a direct award on the basis that Bentley Systems is the proprietary supplier with no viable alternative, not an open competition. Worth flagging for context if you're tracking UU's engineering software estate, though this route isn't one Tier 2/3 suppliers can bid into directly.
