South West Water is gearing up to launch procurement for its \u00a31bn Cheddar 2 Reservoir project with early market engagement due to start in September.<\/p>\n

The planned scheme will see a new 8,200Ml earth embankment reservoir built next to the existing Cheddar Reservoir, along with a new water treatment facility and 75km of pipeline to deliver water from the Bristol area to customers in Devon.<\/p>\n

The project will be delivered through the Direct Procurement for Customers model.<\/p>\n

This will see South West Water looking to appoint a consortium to design, build, finance, and potentially operate and maintain the scheme.<\/p>\n

The capital value of the works is pegged at around \u00a3750m, with total costs, including operation and maintenance, expected to reach \u00a31bn over the 25-year contract.<\/p>\n

A launch event to brief potential bidders and investors is scheduled for 9 September 2025 in London.<\/p>\n

South West Water said the engagement programme will shape its delivery and commercial model and help align the procurement strategy with market expectations for both contractors and investors.<\/p>\n

Tendering is expected to start in July 2027 with a final award due by May 2029.<\/p>\n
