</strong></p><p>In addition, engagement was undertaken with each Devolved Administration.</p><p>
</p><p>No projects are either included or excluded by the design of this measure,
but to benefit from the Exclusion Order they would need to be consistent with the
provisions of the statutory instrument. Projects designated for delivery by way of
Direct Procurement for Customers (DPC) need to satisfy various selection criteria
including, that the estimated whole-life totex (i.e. capital expenditure plus operations
and maintenance costs) of the project is likely to exceed a threshold (currently set
at £100m), and that delivering the project via DPC has the potential to offer best
value for money for customers compared to delivery by the relevant water undertaker.</p><p>
