Description

Affinity Water is the largest water-only supplier in the UK, serving over 3.8 million people across the southeast of England. With a strong focus on sustainability, innovation, and customer service, Affinity Water is committed to securing water supplies for future generations while protecting the environment. Our work includes reducing water leakage, promoting water efficiency, and engaging with communities to ensure a reliable and sustainable water future. The Grand Union Canal Transfer scheme has been designated a project of national significance, forming part of Ofwat's Direct Procurement for Customers (DPC) programme. Affinity Water is looking to utilise a Competitively Appointed Provider (CAP) through a Design-Build -Finance (DBF) or Design-Build-Finance-Operate-Maintain (DBFOM) model or variations thereof (including Design-Build-Finance-Maintain (DBFM)). The scheme facilitates strategic water transfer from the Midlands to the Southeast, leveraging existing canal infrastructure alongside new assets, including water treatment works, pipelines, pumping stations, and environmental mitigation works. This notice seeks market engagement from suitably qualified parties capable of delivering a secure, sustainable, and value-oriented solution for customers aligned with long-term national water resilience objectives.
