About United Utilities

What we buy

The Supply Chain team in United Utilities is responsible for sourcing all goods, works and services for our UK operations.  You can find more information on the scale of our UK operations here. You can contact us here

We have organised our Supply Chain department based around our key areas of spend.  By managing our spend in categories, we aim to create value through a deep understanding of the commercial drivers in our supplier markets and by building long term relationships with partners and suppliers who share our values and objectives.

Our key categories of spend are set out below.  Spend which is not reflected in these categories is managed by a number of general procurement managers, covering areas such as stationery, travel and other non-operational spend.  Please follow the below links to find out more.
