About Water Services Procurement

Water services procurement addresses one of the most fundamental public service needs worldwide, covering drinking water supply, wastewater treatment, and water resource management. Under CPV division 41, this category includes drinking water treatment and distribution, water quality testing and monitoring, desalination services, water infrastructure construction and rehabilitation, and bottled water supply for public institutions.

Municipal water utilities, regional water authorities, and environmental agencies are the primary procurers of water-related goods and services. The Water Framework Directive and the revised Drinking Water Directive set stringent quality standards that drive continuous investment in water treatment technology and infrastructure upgrades. In the Baltic states, structural funds have supported major water and wastewater infrastructure projects, bringing treatment facilities up to standards.

Companies competing in water services procurement should demonstrate expertise in water treatment technologies, compliance with drinking water quality standards, and capacity for infrastructure operation and maintenance. Innovation in water-efficient technologies, smart water network management, and advanced treatment for emerging contaminants provides competitive differentiation.
