IdeaStream has now launched here.

IdeaStream is Water Resources West’s new online collaboration platform. It allows people to get involved in our consultations and plans to shape the future of water resources across the North West, the Midlands and the cross-border catchments with Wales

In IdeaStream you’ll be able to join discussion forums to share your ideas and collaborate with people from multiple sectors. You’ll also find a host of consultations to get involved with.

As you will be aware, ensuring a sustainable and resilient future for our water resources is incredibly important. We estimate that the region will need over additional 200 million litres of water per day by 2050, meaning that we must work together to find new opportunities to meet these needs.

It’s vital that interested groups from across Wales, the North West and Midlands feed into these plans. We need to understand your needs, ambitions and opportunities, so we can ensure that we are prepared for the future.

So join IdeaStream and help us shape the future of water.

It’s easy to join, simply click here. Feel free to explore the site and when you are ready, please register and join the conversations!


Bid Assessment Framework

The purpose of the Bid Assessment Framework is to support the market for water resources, demand management and leakage services. It provides guidance and a template to enable you to submit proposals to help us maintain our water supply balance.

The process is designed to ensure transparency and fairness throughout the tendering process and builds on existing processes and our obligations for water resource planning, procurement law and competition obligations.
