Water Desalination Plants (Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Maintain) AND Desalination Expertise and Consultancy

Anglian Water are looking to develop up to three Desalination Plants in our region.

We are currently planning on running two tenders for this requirement. One tender for two technical partners to assist with the development and design of two Desalination Plants (Bacton & Mablethorpe) and another tender for a Competitively Appointed Provider (CAP) to deliver the Bacton project.

Anglian Water are looking to test the market interest for the development, design, build, financing, operation and maintenance of the projects.

The expected date for the CAP tender launch is circa late 2027/early 2028 and we want to appoint Desalination Technical Providers in 2025.

The CAP date is currently contingent upon:

• the procurement strategy selected following the market engagement
• the required in-service date for the project which will be confirmed by early to mid 2027

The CAP will be procured using Ofwat's Direct Procurement for Customers (DPC) approach.

Please see the 'Market Engagement Information Pack' for further detail and clarification.

A declaration of interest and more information on these two projects can be provided to PIN respondents by emailing AWDesal@anglianwater.co.uk

Please note, this PIN is in relation to both tenders. The details on the tender LOTS given are for the Desalination Technical Partner, however, we are also looking to engage in respect of the wider procurement strategy including for the DPC for the CAP.
