Anglian Water is seeking Expressions of Interest from the supply chain for the supply of aggregates and minerals for the upcoming Lincolnshire & Fens Reservoir Programme.
The Water Resources East regional planning and the Water Resource Management Planning of Anglian Water and Cambridge Water have selected the Fens and Lincolnshire reservoir schemes as low-regret Strategic Resource Options (SRO) to improve water security and meet societal and environmental outcomes.
The water company recognises that the supply of aggregates for drainage within the earth embankment is a critical component of the reservoir and the largest single source of imported materials.
The selection of the aggregate will encompass adherence to the specification on grading and strength, but also geochemical properties. Experience on previous reservoir and dam projects has shown this to be a critical factor in satisfactory performance of the embankments.
As part of the procurement strategy, the water company saysit is necessary to investigate potential sources of aggregate supply at an early stage of the procurement process. Anglian Water is now seeking Expressions of Interest for providing the required quantities of materials which meet the specification in accordance with the programme.Current estimtated start and end dates for the contract are 1 January 2030 to 31 December 2036.

- Aggregates and Minerals Market Engagement Pack
