Anglian Water intends to procure and implement a modern, scalable, cloud-based Asset Investment Planning and Management (AIPM) system delivered as a SaaS solution.

Procedure
Procedure type
Competitive flexible procedure
Competitive flexible procedure description
This procurement will follow a structured, multi-stage process designed to ensure transparency and value. The procedure will begin with a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) to assess baseline compliance and capability. Qualified suppliers will then be invited to submit a Request for Information (RFI), which will be scored to identify the top four candidates progressing to the Request for Proposal (RFP) stage. The RFP will include a demonstration component as part of the scored evaluation to validate technical and functional requirements. Following this, commercial negotiations will take place to refine terms and achieve best value before final award.
