    • Change 30 Jul 2026 Water and wastewater services are essential utilities. Any lapse in contractual arrangements presents unacceptable operational and patient safety risk. Given that the market is highly constrained and the competitive element is minimal, running an accelerated standalone tender for a very short interim period would be disproportionate, resource intensive, and unlikely to deliver additional value.
