Business Stream will work in partnership with Ancala at over 650 sites in the West Midlands and South West of England.
Business Stream will provide a partnership and innovation-led service, designed to deliver improved accuracy, consolidated billing services and greater efficiencies across the contracted Ancala estate.
Andrew Davies, of Ancala, said: “We were looking for a partner that would enable us to identify and deliver innovative-led solutions to challenge industry norms and improve the standards and practices we currently receive within the water retail sector."
Douglas McLaren, of Business Stream, said the firm is delighted to secure the contract, adding: “We have a vast amount of experience in working with the private and public sector and a proven track record in delivering financial and environmental savings to our customers."
