About

Water Services Regulation Authority (Ofwat) awarded a contract to Hodgkin Associates Limited for advisory work on the social purpose of water companies.

The contract covered the general case for a social contract, including board arguments for and against companies adopting a broader social purpose, examples of where this is occurring, and a high-level review of arguments around the social contract and why some businesses appear to be adopting these principles.

It also involved defining problems in the water sector and how a social contract could address them, with a focus on legitimacy and political arguments and counter-arguments.

The contract value was £20,000.
