TEC – New water framework

TEC – New water framework

TEC are pleased to announce that following a Public Sector Buying Organisation (PSBO) collaborative procurement exercise with YPO, West Mercia Energy and ESPO we’ve awarded the new Water, Wastewater and Ancillary Services framework to Wave. The new framework went live on 1st November 2020 and covers all aspects of water supply and management for our members as well as wider public sector organisations.

The framework provides TEC members access to a direct-award – a simplified and fast switching route to market, with defined quality standards supported by robust KPIs and by the combined specialist procurement and sectoral knowledge of the four PSBO partners. Customers will further benefit from key account management, competitive pricing, built-in water efficiency savings and social and environmental value support.

TEC’s Head of Member Services, Steve Creighton said:

“This framework will give our members access to a water partner, providing excellent standards of service, competitive pricing and access to water efficiency measures to really deliver benefit and value.”

“Wave has demonstrated a strong track record in the public sector, and through our tender process clearly understand the challenges the public sector faces and how they can add value and bring positive change. The English water retail market is now three years old and some of our members still struggle with unacceptable standards of service, so we, alongside our PSBO partners created a framework that placed quality right at the heart of everything that will be delivered for our members.”

Wave’s director of public sector customers, Tony March said:

“We’re delighted to have been awarded onto this joint PSBO framework. We’re looking forward to working with TEC to deliver great quality service to support its members and to develop new and exciting initiatives that drive water efficiencies”
