About

Water Services Regulation Authority (Ofwat) awarded a contract to The University of Manchester for the UC Modelling Options Project (Rapid).

The project involved reviewing all known options for existing and new sources against baseline deficit needs, considering these options and their earliest available dates, and providing a mathematically derived national 'basket' of 'suites' of options that is geographically unconstrained.

It also included assessing regional needs in a mathematical way, unconstrained by geography of company boundaries, completing a stakeholder workshop to critically assess and apply all current known supply constraints, and running a second pass of the constrained options to provide a constrained 'basket'.

The contract value was £66,750.
