Scope Update to Preliminary Market Engagement Notice This update to the Preliminary Market Engagement Notice published on 24 July 2026 (notice identifier 2026/S 000-070264) provides details of the next phase of market engagement for the Cwm Taf Water Supply Strategy, ahead of the planned procurement launch in Q1 2027. The “Engagement” section has been revised to summarise engagement undertaken to date and to provide information on a Meet The Buyer event on 10 November 2026, and details in relation to a data room to be made available before planned procurement launch. These arrangements replace the corresponding Engagement and Registration section in the 24 July 2026 notice. Earlier engagement in respect of the Cwm Taf WSS was advertised in the notice published on 10 November 2025 (notice identifier 2025/S 000-072565). Except as expressly amended by this update, the information published in notice 2026/S 000-070264 remains unchanged. Description Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water (DCWW) is the largest water and sewerage company in Wales and the sixth largest operating in England and Wales. Responsible for providing high-quality drinking water for over three million customers and for taking away, treating and properly disposing of the wastewater that is produced. DCWW is committed to securing water supplies for future generations while protecting the environment. Our primary responsibility is to operate, maintain and upgrade this large network of assets to ensure a safe and reliable drinking water supply and to deal effectively with discharges so as to protect the environment. As part of its Cwm Taf Water Supply Strategy (“Cwm Taf WSS”), DCWW is seeking to progress a major investment project to design and build new water treatment works and develop an existing water treatment works (the Cwm Taf WSS Procurement Scheme). The Cwm Taf WSS Procurement Scheme has been designated under Ofwat's Direct Procurement for Customers (DPC) programme. The Cwm Taf WSS Procurement Scheme is intended to be delivered primarily on two separate sites, one located in the vicinity of Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales and one within the boundaries of the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park. DCWW is looking to appoint a Competitively Appointed Provider (CAP) utilising the Direct Procurement for Customers (DPC) model. The scheme includes the Design, Build and Finance (DBF) of a new water treatment works on an agricultural land at Dan-y-Castell Farm, along with a raw water pumping station at Pontsticill (referred to as the Dan-y-Castell project) and Llwyn-onn Water Treatment Works upgrade (referred to as the Llwyn-onn project). The Cwm Taf WSS Procurement Scheme is therefore a two-site project comprising Dan-y-Castell (currently with an estimated value of £434,400,000 including VAT / £362,000,000 excluding VAT) and Llwyn-onn (currently with an estimated value of £232,800,000 including VAT / £194,000,000 excluding VAT). The Cwm Taf WSS Procurement Scheme includes (but is not limited to): • Water Treatment Works • Pumping stations • Transfer pipelines • Environmental and mitigation measures • Treated Water Storage Across its market engagement activities, DCWW has been seeking engagement from organisations capable of supporting the delivery and financing of a secure, sustainable and value-driven solution for customers through this major DPC-designated infrastructure project. The engagement activities to date and activities highlighted in the update to this notice will support the ongoing development of the procurement and commercial strategies (and associated documentation) and will help inform the delivery of the Cwm Taf WSS and the sustainable and environmental objectives of the Welsh Government, including (but not limited to) the Wellbeing of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015. The current market engagement activities and participation arrangements are set out in the Engagement section below.
