United Utilities Water Limited is launching a single integrated framework to replace its existing fragmented arrangements for Tankering, Industrial Cleaning and Water Sludge Cake services across its water, wastewater, network and bioresources operations. The framework will streamline the procurement of planned, reactive and emergency operational services, provisioning suppliers with a compliant route to market for the collection, movement, transport, discharge and disposal of wastewater, sludge, sludge cake, solids, grit, and other associated materials. By consolidating these essential activities, United Utilities aims to ensure continued operational resilience and environmental stewardship within its asset portfolio.

The framework has been divided into three distinct lots. Lot 1 covers Tankering Services, including loading, collection, transport, transfer, and discharge of a broad range of waste streams, inter‑works sludge transfer, wastewater transfer, process tankering, solids haulage, and incident support during capacity constraints or emergencies. Lot 2 focuses on Industrial Cleaning Services, encompassing planned and emergency cleaning of operational wastewater and sludge‑related assets through emptying, desilting, de‑gritting, washdown, jetting, vacuumation, screening, pumping, and containment of waste materials. Lot 3 addresses Water Sludge Cake and Water Sludge Services, providing collection, loading, transport, haulage, transfer, and operational spreading of waterworks sludge cake, liquid sludge and associated solids between United Utilities sites and approved destinations.

Suppliers admitted to the framework will be evaluated against United Utilities’ minimum technical, operational, commercial, health and safety, environmental, transport and compliance requirements, with active call‑offs determined through separate competitions. The framework will operate for an initial four‑year term with options for two additional two‑year extensions, reflecting the company’s need for flexibility and performance continuity. All supplied services must meet relevant industry technical standards and compliance protocols.
