Drinking Water Treatment — Public Tenders
Drinking water treatment and supply is a core municipal task with high quality requirements. Water utilities, special-purpose associations and municipal works award contracts for the construction and refurbishment of waterworks, the renewal of treatment technology, and the expansion of pipe networks. Rising drinking water quality requirements and climate adaptation are driving investment.

Challenges in finding tenders
Drinking water supply is highly fragmented — there are thousands of water utilities in Germany, ranging from large municipal works to small special-purpose associations. Many contracts are below the EU thresholds and are published only regionally. Technical requirements vary considerably depending on raw water quality and existing infrastructure.
The boundary between drinking water and wastewater projects is not always clear in the CPV codification, as both areas use similar construction methods and materials.
