Official UK procurement notice
PRO004713 – Standpipes – Supply & Revenue Collection
Authority: United Utilities Water Limited (Public body)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionUU (United Utilities Water Limited) has a regulatory obligation to ensure the supply of clean water and water companies must have a process to manage appropriate network abstraction and have a duty to manage misuse under the Water Industry Act. Businesses may sometimes require an additional water supply outside of normal supply arrangements and to facilitate this, a comprehensive standpipe hire service is offered. These freestanding pipes are fitted with a tap and can be attached to a hydrant to provide a water supply where there isn’t currently one available, for example a construction site.
UU are currently managing this provision on an in-house basis but now wish to engage with a partner organisation to deliver the services on its behalf. The partner would hire the standpipes to customers and be responsible for the recovery of water revenue which would then be passed to UU.
