The purpose of the event is to inform interested parties of the current proposals to deliver several reservoirs as part of the Strategic Resource Options (SROs) programme, including the Southeast Strategic Reservoir Option (SESRO), a new raw water storage reservoir in Oxfordshire - helping to build a resilient future in the long term. The purpose of this PIN is to give notice of the event, which is being organised by the Regulators' Alliance for Progressing Infrastructure Development (RAPID) and held in collaboration with Anglian Water, and to encourage interested parties to register their interest with RAPID. It is not a call for competition. TWUL will also be requesting that interested parties complete our Request for Information (RFI) after the event, to provide more detailed feedback on our emerging delivery proposals for SESRO. The event invite and subsequent RFI will be accessible through TWUL's eSourcing platform IASTA SmartSource. Please see Section VI.3 Additional Information on how to request access to the SESRO Market Engagement project. TWUL intends to use this event to introduce the project to the market and encourage interested parties to engage with us as we develop the project further, including through selective bilateral discussions to be held after the event, in order to explore RFI responses in greater depth. The objectives of the engagement half day are: * To introduce the SRO Programme, including SESRO and other reservoir schemes being developed by other water companies. * To explain the project's needs case, scope and key components / assets. * To introduce key considerations related to the commercial model and delivery strategies under consideration. * To provide an opportunity for interest parties to ask questions. * To identify parties who would be interested in engaging with us further after the event. To access the invite which includes a link to register your interest in attending the event with RAPID, please refer to Section VI.3 Additional Information. ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** planned - **CPV codes:** 43123000, 43320000, 45000000, 50000000, 63712320, 65100000 - **Delivery regions:** UK - **Description:** Meeting the water resource supply-demand balance to ensure resilient supplies during droughts is becoming ever more challenging with increasing pressures from climate change, population growth, societal expectations and increasing environmental aspir... ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F028037-2023) - **Last Source Update:** 2023-09-22T11:47:38.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-26T00:25:01.052Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-040303
