Castle Water chosen to provide water and sewerage services to United Learning Trust
Castle Water has been awarded a £275 million contract to provide water and sewerage services to around 60 schools in England.
United Learning Trust is a group of primary, secondary, all-through and independent academies located across England. It was formed in 2002 as a subsidiary of the United Church Schools Trust.
The group also awarded a contract worth around £125 million to H2O Building Services, to provide “ancillary” goods and services to its schools.
So far, there are 22 retailers licensed to operate in the English market. This includes one business customer – Greene King – which holds a self-supply licence. Hospitality firm Whitbread Group has also applied for a self-supply licence, but it has not yet been granted.
Earlier this year, Castle Water was one of four companies who won a framework contract to supply Progress Housing Group with water retail services. The group owns almost 11,000 residential rental properties in England and Scotland.
The other companies to win business with Progress Housing Group were: Anglian Water Business, Everflow and water2business. The contract was put out to tender by broker Apollo Energy.
