Anglian Water Services £10-£250k in lots

Ecological and hydrological surveys and assessments for environmental and regulatory compliance in various environments.

Anglian Water Services Ltd (Anglian Water) is undertaking a procurement exercise to establish a multi-supplier framework agreement for the provision of Ecological and Hydrological Surveys and Assessments, including terrestrial, marine, coastal, and estuarine environments. These services will support Anglian Water's Enabling and Environmental programmes, including WINEP, Quality, Environmental, and Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) initiatives.

Estimated Value:

The total estimated value of the framework is up to £47 million for the AMP. Individual call-off contracts are expected to vary in value, with many anticipated to fall within the £10,000-£250,000 range. Only a small number of larger projects may exceed this.

Duration of Framework:

Up to 15 years (initial term of 5 years, with two optional extensions of 5 years each).

Scope of Services:

The framework will cover the supply of:

Pre-construction ecological and hydrological surveys for capital projects (e.g. reservoirs, desalination plants)

Environmental assessments to support planning, permitting, and regulatory compliance, Data collection, analysis, and reporting aligned with WFD, BNG, and other statutory requirements.

Delivery Requirements:

Services must be delivered across Anglian Water's operational regions, including Hartlepool, Lincoln, Ruthamford, Norfolk, and Essex. Suppliers must demonstrate the ability to deliver high-quality, standards-compliant outputs under NEC4 and Anglian Water Services Terms and Conditions including Purchase Order contract terms. All procurement and contract management will be conducted electronically.

Framework Structure:

2 lots- Ecology and Hydrology

Each single-lot has two delivery pathways:

Pathway A - For use mostly by Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs) or larger pipeline and construction projects, requiring higher levels of assurance including collateral warranties, cyber security, and insurance provisions. These projects may involve higher-value call-offs and more complex delivery requirements.

Pathway B - For regional and less complex projects or requirements, with lower assurance thresholds. A maximum number of suppliers will be appointed per region to ensure balanced coverage and maintain supply chain capacity.

Suppliers may apply for either or both pathways. Subcontracting between awarded suppliers is permitted only with prior approval from Anglian Water.

Additional Information:

Anglian Water encourages participation from SMEs and will provide support throughout the tender process.

This Dynamic Purchasing System is to establish a pool of qualified suppliers to provide field data collection services. It will be broken into geographical lots and possibly work elements. For the following:

Survey work such as National Forest Inventory (NFI) and Trees Outside of Woodlands (TOW)

The installation of surveying/monitoring equipment for our National Capital Ecosystem Assessment (NCEA) work

Suppliers who can help with our Forest Mensuration and Production surveys (such as U18), Forest Attribute Surveys to update GIS information, collection of data from experimental sites.

They are particularly interested in suppliers who have experience using GIS technology, handheld GPS devices, field survey techniques. They would like to also have the option to explore the use of future ancillary technologies such as Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS) and terrestrial based LiDAR. They do not expect all suppliers to be able to provide all services, not all of these skills will be required for each mini-competition.
