What the notice says

United Utilities is developing Living Logic as a proposed Water Innovation Fund Water Breakthrough Challenge 7 bid under the Catalyst scheme. Through this preliminary market engagement, United Utilities is seeking information from organisations interested in partnering on the project and contributing to its development and delivery through either a monetary contribution or a benefit-in-kind contribution. We are particularly interested in suppliers, technology providers, research organisations and delivery partners offering nature-based wastewater treatment solutions and associated monitoring, diagnostics or decision-support capabilities that can support the wider adoption of living treatment systems as predictable, monitorable and investable wastewater treatment assets.
