KEY SUPPLIERS
WAVE
This year we announced that we have awarded our
managed Water, Wastewater & Ancillary Services
Framework to Wave Utilities.
Following a rigorous procurement process, the outcome sees
Wave retained as the sole supplier on our framework with new
agreements which commenced from 27th October 2024. The
framework will provide TEC members with access to a managed
service focused on getting the fundamentals right while driving
efficiencies through water and carbon reduction, flexible billing,
enhanced water management, and opportunities for market
improvement funding.
This framework enhances the service that TEC have
been continuously improving over the last four years
that will give our members access to a water partner
and service that will really deliver benefit and value.
Wave has demonstrated a strong track record in service
to our membership and understand the challenges our
sector faces. Alongside the drive to understand water
usage and to reduce consumption and waste both TEC
and Wave are connected to the heart of the industry
aiming to effect change and improvement for all.
TEC, its members, associates and Wave are approaching
nearly 4 years of working closely to deliver a water
service second to none. Wave is delighted to have
secured the new TEC Framework, which will provide a
great platform to build on the fantastic work which is in
progress. Together, we will work to drive efficiencies,
reduce water consumption, improve compliance and
continue on all our journeys to net zero. Thank you
to TEC, the members and associates for this amazing
opportunity and placing your trust in Wave.
