Curio Group secures four-year contract with Northern Ireland Water

Curio Group has been awarded a four-year service and maintenance contract by Northern Ireland Water following a competitive tender process. Under the agreement, Curio will provide infrastructure support across several water treatment sites in Northern Ireland.

The scope of work includes site audits, provision of spare parts, and ongoing maintenance and service. Curio will also be responsible for the design, supply, installation, and optimisation of new ozone generators at Northern Ireland’s two largest Water Treatment Works. These systems are used in the disinfection and treatment of drinking water.

The contract covers both the maintenance of existing ozone systems and the installation of new equipment, contributing to efforts to enhance water treatment processes across the region.

Curio participated in a tender process that evaluated criteria including experience, technical capability, and cost efficiency. The company has previously worked with Northern Ireland Water under the Capital Delivery Framework.

Howard Marles, CEO of Curio Group, said: “We’re delighted to be working with Northern Ireland Water over the next four years to upgrade and maintain its water treatment infrastructure. Our ambition is to keep the company at the forefront of the latest technology and innovation in the water industry, helping them maintain high water quality standards as economically as possible.”

Sam Adams, NI Water Project Manager, added: “Curio Group has been awarded these service and maintenance contracts following a meticulous selection process. We look forward to working closely with their team to upgrade and maintain our ozone disinfection processes. We hope to benefit from the extensive knowledge and experience Curio has accumulated through working with other major UK water companies.”

The contract follows Curio’s recent agreement with German firm Reinert-Ritz, giving Curio exclusive distribution rights for its products in the UK and Ireland. Additionally, Curio launched the UK’s first micropollutant removal plants with Severn Trent Water in April and earlier this year relocated its operations to Cranfield University, where it is developing ozone-based micropollutant removal technologies for wastewater treatment.
