Poole Water Recycling and Transfer SRO

Descriptions

As part of wider plans from the West Country Water and Environment Group (WCWE), two projects are in early planning and development, namely Cheddar 2 Reservoir, and the Poole Water Recycling and Transfer Project. This Planned Procurement Notice refers only to the Poole Water Recycling and Transfer Project, led by Wessex Water, however a separate Planned Procurement Notice is also concurrently being issued by South West Water for the Cheddar 2 Reservoir Project.

This Planned Procurement Notice is being issued to provide advance information to the market of Wessex Water's intent to procure a Competitively Appointed Provider (CAP) to design, build, finance, operate and maintain a new Poole Water Recycling and Transfer centre under the Direct Procurement for Customers (DPC) model. Please note that this Notice is not a call for competition.

At this stage, it is intended that the Project scope comprises a new 30 Ml/d Water Recycling Centre at Corfe Mullen, together with ancillary associated works including a transfer from the existing Poole Water Recycling Centre to the new Water Recycling Centre at Corfe Mullen, creation of new wetlands, and discharge pipelines. The estimated capital value of the work is approximately £170 million (excluding VAT) and the estimated total expenditure (inclusive of operating and maintenance costs) is c. £345 million (excluding VAT).

Wessex Water is planning a programme of market engagement for the Poole Water Recycling and Transfer Project, and to this end potential investors and contractors are invited to express their interest in participating in a series of engagement activities, commencing with an initial spring industry briefing and launch event scheduled for Tuesday 9th September 2025, to be held at a central London venue.

The programme of engagement is proposed to help develop a wider understanding of the delivery of the Project from both a construction and investment perspective, and presents an opportunity for Wessex Water to engage and collaborate with the market in refining its delivery and commercial model, procurement approach and contracting terms.

Additionally, the programme of market engagement seeks to encourage multi-party discussions that will align the Project's development and presentation to market with market trends, taking into account the perspectives of both Investors and Main Works Contractors who it is envisaged would form and comprise the CAP.
