Capitalising on the Deregulated UK Water Market
Before the UK’s water market deregulation in 2017, businesses were restricted to local suppliers, often resulting in higher costs and inefficiencies, particularly for multi-site operations. Deregulation gave commercial enterprises, charities, and public sector organisations in England the freedom to choose their water suppliers, opening the door to better procurement, contract renegotiation, and cost savings. Despite these opportunities, many businesses still rely on local suppliers, missing out on potential efficiencies. Through procurement tendering, organisations can optimise water usage, reduce expenses, and streamline invoicing across multiple sites.
