OFWAT may require the Supplier to attend an introductory presentation to company representatives and other stakeholders within two months of appointment.

The surveys will cover the 17 largest appointed water companies in England and Wales - this includes water and wastewater companies (those which provide a combined service, delivering both water and wastewater services) and water-only companies (those which provide only a water service).

Please note that OFWAT may publish the final annual reports.

The ITT outlines how the C-MeX and D-MeX incentives work, requirements for the Supplier and the Key Deliverables for this project.
