NI Water has announced the launch of a Professional Services Framework worth up to £800 million to support the planning and execution of its Capital Works Programme. This framework will drive the sustainable development of essential water and wastewater infrastructure projects across Northern Ireland. Initially set for a four-year term, the framework has the potential to extend until 2032, with flexible spending based on the available capital investment budget.

Local companies selected for the framework will offer a variety of professional services, including project management, network modelling, digital innovation, and initiatives focused on enhancing climate resilience, cutting carbon emissions, and improving the efficiency of capital project delivery.
