Anglian Water has cancelled its recently announced preliminary market engagement on its proposed Maintenance, Repair and Operational Materials (MRO) procurement.
In July the water company announced its intention to hold an on-line webinar towards the end of August or early September 2026. Estimated contract dates at the time were 1 September 2027 to 31 August 2037 and the engagement deadline was 30 September 2026
The MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Operations) category encompasses a wide range of spare parts, tools and consumables essential to maintaining operational continuity across Anglian Water's asset base. These include hand tools, power tools, mechanical and electrical spares, lubricants, and other non-process chemicals, electrical, instrumentation, control and automation (EICA) spares.
The intention was to have multiple routes of order and supply, various ordering channels (e.g., guided buying, counter collection, credit card, supplier websites) and to provide flexibility to source from different locations across the Anglian Water region, depending on urgency, technical expertise and product availability.
The engagement was for interested suppliers to attend the webinar, to see a presentation of requirements, provide an opportunity to discuss and ask questions and then to follow up with information to assist Anglian Water in finalising its procurement strategy.
Anglian Water said:
“We are cancelling this pre-market engagement and proposed webinar. Thank you to all of those of you who responded, we will be in touch separately to you shortly with more details.”
