The water company intends to initiate the tender process to secure the delivery of Water Network Alliance (WNA) Works from 2025 for up to 8 years.
Welsh Water is currently reviewing the precise structure, and nature of works to be undertaken, to both enhance, maintain and extend its current water network assets.
The utility has now issued a Periodic Indicative Notice to launch a market engagement exercise before publication of its contract notice which is currently expected to be in late Spring/early Summer 2024.

The main areas of Works are split into 3 separate Lots as follows:
Lot 1 – Metering & Customer Appointment Programmes (estimated annual value approx. £30 million per annum)
Lot 2 – Network Maintenance (estimated annual value approx. £30 million per annum)
Lot 3 - Mains Rehabilitation &Mains Laying (estimated annual value approx. £40 million per annum)
