Authority: YORKSHIRE WATER SERVICES LIMITED (Public body)
What is being bought7 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionThe objective of this Procurement Process is to secure a framework arrangement for the supply of MEICA services (Mechanical, Electrical, Instrumentation, Control and Automation) across Yorkshire Water's clean water and wastewater asset portfolio.
The proposed MEICA framework will cover capital delivery, planned and reactive maintenance, specialist access, and associated mechanical, electrical and ICA services across Yorkshire Water's operational region. Depending on the relevant Lot, services may include assessment, design, supply, installation, modification, refurbishment, repair, testing, commissioning, emergency response, and performance validation.
The framework is intended to support the delivery and maintenance of MEICA assets and systems while maintaining operational continuity. The scope will be divided across seven Lots, grouped into Capital and Maintenance Pools, with detailed requirements and interfaces defined within the procurement documents.
Suppliers with relevant experience, capability and capacity are invited to express an interest and participate in the Conditions of Participation process.
- How the procedure runs: Yorkshire Water will run a multi-stage procurement using the competitive flexible procedure in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023. Stage 1 - Conditions of Participation (CoP): Interested suppliers submit a COP Questionnaire. Responses are assessed against defined pass/fail Selection Criteria to determine whether suppliers meet Yorkshire Water's minimum requirements. Yorkshire Water may conduct one or more rounds of Selection and reserves the right to shortlist suppliers progressing to subsequent stages. Stage 2 - Contractual Compliance: Shortlisted suppliers will be invited to review and, where permitted, comment on the Proposed Contract. Yorkshire Water will refine and finalise the contract terms during this stage. Only suppliers who accept the final contract terms will progress to the ITT stage. Stage 3 - Invitation to Tender (Quality & Commercial): Suppliers will submit detailed quality and commercial tenders, which will be evaluated in accordance with the award criteria set out in the ITT documentation. Following evaluation, Yorkshire Water will identify the most economically advantageous tenders and award places on the Technical Services and Assurance Framework. The procedure structure and indicative timelines are set out in the procurement documents.

How this framework works
From the published notice- Type
- Closed framework
- Call-offs
- call-offs may be awarded directly or by further competition
- Framework period
- 5 yrs · up to 8 yrs from 1 Jun 2027
Published description of the framework
The framework will operate on a multi-supplier basis, with Yorkshire Water awarding call-off contracts in accordance with the procedures set out in the Framework Agreement. Prices for call-offs will be determined using the pricing schedules established at tender, with the ability to confirm or adjust pricing where permitted by the call-off process.
Call-off contracts may be awarded either directly, where the framework provides an objective method to identify the most suitable supplier for a defined requirement, or following a further competition among the suppliers appointed to the framework.
Yorkshire Water will apply the framework rules consistently to ensure transparency, fairness and proportionality in allocating work, while enabling flexibility to meet programme needs. The operation of the framework will be governed by the terms of the Framework Agreement and the procedures communicated during the procurement process.

- Price carries 50 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “CM3545 MEICA Services” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract: call-offs may be direct or by further competition.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

How the contest usually goes
Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.
i
How often small and medium firms win.
Share of awards where the winner’s size is known.
The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.
Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.
i
How often local firms win similar work.
Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.
Here, local means the winner is registered in the region where that contract was delivered.
A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.
Most of this buyer’s recorded winners are registered outside Yorkshire and the Humber.
i
How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.
Middle value in days from the deadline to the first award notice, on competitions that published both dates.
Only decided tenders count, so slow ones still waiting are not in.
Half of these awards were announced within 116 days of the bid deadline.
i
How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.
Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.
The market share is a minimum: some awards have no bid count.
Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.
Awards are recorded, but published direct routes and bid counts do not establish this buyer’s share.
How many bids did past lots attract?
i
How many bids past lots received.
Each colour is a bid-count range. Only competed lots with a published count are included.

How did awards compare with estimates?
i
Where winning prices landed against estimates.
Each colour shows awards below, close to or above the published estimate, one lot at a time.
On a framework or DPS, prices are agreed when work is called off.
Past prices are a guide, not a bid price.
Not comparable on a framework or DPS. The notice sets up a supplier panel and a ceiling value; what the work actually costs is agreed later, on each call-off or mini-competition, and those publish as contract notices of their own. The award-vs-estimate record of this market therefore sits on the call-offs; this page shows it on the contracts, not on the panel that frames them.

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.

- How it runs
Yorkshire Water will run a multi-stage procurement using the competitive flexible procedure in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023.
Stage 1 - Conditions of Participation (CoP):
Interested suppliers submit a COP Questionnaire. Responses are assessed against defined pass/fail Selection Criteria to determine whether suppliers meet Yorkshire Water's minimum requirements. Yorkshire Water may conduct one or more rounds of Selection and reserves the right to shortlist suppliers progressing to subsequent stages.
Stage 2 - Contractual Compliance:
Shortlisted suppliers will be invited to review and, where permitted, comment on the Proposed Contract. Yorkshire Water will refine and finalise the contract terms during this stage. Only suppliers who accept the final contract terms will progress to the ITT stage.
Stage 3 - Invitation to Tender (Quality & Commercial):
Suppliers will submit detailed quality and commercial tenders, which will be evaluated in accordance with the award criteria set out in the ITT documentation.
Following evaluation, Yorkshire Water will identify the most economically advantageous tenders and award places on the Technical Services and Assurance Framework.
The procedure structure and indicative timelines are set out in the procurement documents.
