What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Water Act was introduced in 2014 which saw the deregulation of water, and the overarching aim of the Act was to introduce competition into the water market in England from 2017.

As a result of this Act all businesses in England were able to use their preferred suppliers for both water, and waste water supply and services.
