National water retailer, Wave, has won a substantial public sector contract with the Ministry of Justice, following a competitive tender through the CCS Water framework.
The three-year contract, which commenced in January 2024, comes with an option to extend for a further year and is expected to generate annual water revenues of around £28m.
Social value formed part of the Ministry of Justice’s criteria for award of the contract, and Wave was able to demonstrate its social value credentials and customer focus through its forward-facing Social and Sustainability Promise.
The company is the third largest water retailer in the market and says it is committed to supporting customers to achieve optimum water usage, whilst minimising costs and environmental impact.
Lucy Darch, CEO of Wave, said:
“We’re delighted to have secured this contract with the Ministry of Justice, which is a significant addition to our portfolio of public sector customers. We’re a trusted supplier throughout the public sector and recognise the significance not just of delivering excellent service, but also contributing to local communities.
“This commitment is demonstrated through our Social and Sustainability Promise and our dedication to identifying inefficiencies and encouraging water and cost savings by collaborating closely with our customers.”
