## Description

We are looking to appoint delivery partners to support Ofwat in delivering the Ofwat Innovation Fund and aspects of the Water Efficiency Fund in AMP 8 \(the asset management planning period which runs from April 2025-March 2030\)\. This is a continuation of the existing Innovation Fund which was established in 2020 and the introduction of a new Water Efficiency Fund \(WEF\) of which this Invitation to Tender is concerned with only two aspects: the Water Efficiency Lab \(WEL\) - an annual competition similar to the Innovation Fund but focused solely on water efficiency, and the evaluation of the Water Efficiency Campaign \(WEC\), which is the other part of the two components that make up the WEF\.We are looking for delivery partner support in three distinct but linked areas:Lot 1: Core Innovation Fund and WEL deliveryLot 2: Implementation programmeLot 3: Evaluation
