Water Trading
Managing our water resources, demand management and leakage services
Affinity Water is, in principle, willing to trade with any party that either wishes to take from us, or offer to us, a reasonable volume of reliable, sustainable and cost effective water resources. It is also willing to trade with third-party providers of leakage and other demand management services to ensure the appropriate sourcing of these services for our Water Resources Management Plan.
As part of the PR19 methodology, Ofwat has signalled that incumbents are required to publish a Bid Assessment Framework (BAF) to support the bidding market for these services by ensuring transparency of our process to identify opportunities for trading and establishing a clear framework through which solutions will be procured for such opportunities.
As part of the PR19 determination, our BAF was submitted with our PR19 Business Plan on 11 July 2019. The schematic below shows the relationship between WRMP, the Market Information Tables, Trading & Procurement Code and BAF.
