Water company procurement is spread across multiple channels and portals. Knowing exactly where to look — and when — is the difference between catching a framework in time and missing the window.
Water Industry Hub monitors all water company procurement channels and delivers relevant notices directly to your inbox — so you never have to check multiple portals manually.
Under the Procurement Act 2023, Essex & Suffolk Water must publish Pipeline Notices giving advance warning of major procurements. Water Industry Hub tracks these notices for all operators and alerts members to upcoming opportunities.
Water company frameworks operate on a tier structure. Tier 1 contractors hold a direct contractual relationship with Essex & Suffolk Water. Tier 2 and Tier 3 specialists subcontract through Tier 1 holders. If you cannot win a Tier 1 position directly, approach the named Tier 1 framework holders to discuss sub-contractor opportunities.
Water Industry Hub offers procurement support from someone who spent 18 years inside a major water company. Every bid review is supported by a team of water sector experts. Initial conversation free of charge.
Water Industry Hub monitors the whole water sector for every contract award, live tender and pipeline notice — with named supplier details, supply chain analysis and framework watch list.
