In plain English
United Utilities Water is procuring a Design and Integration Partner to help design the Only Rainwater into Windermere (ORiW) programme, a long-term project to make Windermere England's cleanest lake by removing wastewater discharges from public and private sources and addressing highway runoff. The estimated value is £600 million.
What the buyer wants
• Support the next phase of the programme by designing the ORiW system, including connecting unsewered properties to the public sewer network and providing remote treatment where connection is not possible. • Design the wider infrastructure, such as tunnels, sewers, rising mains, pumping stations and an upgrade to an existing wastewater treatment works and discharge point, which UU plans to promote through a Development Consent Order. • Help deliver nature-based solutions for surface water and highway runoff across the Windermere catchment.
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice text provided is cut off before its qualification criteria, so it does not state what would rule out a small business; however, a £600 million nationally significant infrastructure programme requiring a partner to design a full system of tunnels, treatment works and catchment-wide solutions would most likely exclude small firms working alone.

How to bid
This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
