Commercial Water Procurement

Commercial and non-household water markets were de-regulated in England in April 2017. This has enabled users to switch suppliers and secure a more cost-effective contract for their business usage. Since de-regulation, customer service satisfaction has dramatically increased with suppliers using value-added business models to work with customers and lower bills.
Ofwat set the wholesale costs for the water market every April and all suppliers pass these charges through to their customers. This means that Eneco are only tendering for the retail fee which is approximately 5-15% of the total water/wastewater bill.
