<p>Direct Procurement for Customers (DPC) involves a water or wastewater company competitively
tendering for services in relation to the delivery of certain large infrastructure
projects, resulting in the selection of a third-party competitively appointed provider.</p><p>
</p><p>As part of Ofwat’s Price Review 2024, companies are encouraged to consider
the use of DPC approach for discrete projects over £200 million. Outsourcing delivery
via DPC has a range of possible benefits, including lower capital and operational
costs, lower financing costs, and the provision of benchmarks for efficient costs.</p><p>
</p><p>Whether a project is delivered via DPC is a decision for Ofwat.</p>
