Published requirement description

Yorkshire Water intends to establish a multi-supplier Framework Agreement for the provision of specialist high-voltage (HV) electrical design, protection studies, design and build, maintenance and inspection, together with air circuit breaker (ACB) replacement and maintenance services. The Framework Agreement will provide a resilient and competitive route to qualified suppliers for safety-critical activities supporting Yorkshire Water's statutory, regulatory and health and safety obligations.

The Framework Agreement will introduce a dedicated route for ACB replacement and maintenance activity. It will support planned, urgent, reactive and complex works through lot-specific call-off arrangements. Suppliers may tender for one or more Lots, subject to meeting the relevant Conditions of Participation and requirements set out in the procurement documents.

The scope is divided into the following four Lots:

  • Lot 1: HV Design, Build and Protection Studies
  • Lot 2: HV Maintenance and Inspection
  • Lot 3: ACB Replacement and Associated Works
  • Lot 4: ACB Maintenance and Inspection
  • How the procedure runs: Yorkshire Water will run a multi-stage procurement using the competitive flexible procedure in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023. The procurement will begin with Conditions of Participation questions assessed on a pass/fail basis. These questions will assess lot-relevant credentials, regulatory compliance and conflicts of interest, financial standing, health and safety, environmental and human rights practices, quality management, information security, insurance, pre-employment checks, technical capability and tender-process requirements Suppliers meeting the mandatory Conditions of Participation will be invited to the Invitation to Tender stage. ITT responses will include supporting evidence and will be evaluated against the quality and commercial award criteria set out in the procurement documents. Yorkshire Water may apply any further stages or refine the procurement documents in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 and the published procurement approach.

CPV: Circuit breakers · Electrical installation work of electrical distribution apparatus · Electrical power systems design services · Engineering studies · High voltage installation work · Installation services of electricity distribution and control equipment · Repair and maintenance services of electrical machinery, apparatus and associated equipment · Switchgear · Switching station installation work · Technical inspection and testing services

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
4 yrs · up to 8 yrs from 1 Feb 2027
Published description of the framework

The Framework Agreement will operate on a multi-supplier basis. Yorkshire Water will award call-off contracts in accordance with the Framework Agreement and the procedure applicable to the relevant Lot and requirement. Call-offs may be awarded by direct award, capability-based rotation or further competition, including mini-competition, depending on the nature, value, urgency and complexity of the requirement.

Lot 1 and Lot 3 are expected to use mini-competitions for larger or complex projects, with direct award or capability-based allocation where permitted for standard or urgent works. Lot 2 and Lot 4 are expected to use planned maintenance schedules and price books, direct award for urgent or reactive works, and mini-competition for larger remedial packages. The detailed call-off mechanisms will be set out in the Framework Agreement and procurement documents.

How this buyer will score bids.

The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).

Evaluation split and conditions of participation as published; the tender pack may add more
How bids are scored · same split on all 4 lots
Quality: 50%Price: 50%
Published sub-criteria (2)
  • Capability: 50%
  • Commercial: 50%
Published award criteria (2)
  • Commercial: Lot-specific rates, schedules of rates and evaluated scenarios; pricing assumptions for planned, reactive and project-based work; commercial flexibility, discounts and price-book arrangements.
  • Capability: Compliance with Yorkshire Water requirements and relevant technical experience; technical approach, mobilisation, delivery capacity and response times; health and safety, competent-person arrangements and operational controls.
What this means for your bid
  • 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.
  • “CM3576 HV and ACB Electrical Works and Services Framework” 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.

Question for the bid
This buyerYORKSHIRE WATER SERVICES LIMITED · all categories
What to do with it
How often do SMEs win?
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.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: 1 of 9 known-size awards · market: CPV 7133 · UK-wide, n=9
11%33%

Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.

How often do local suppliers win?
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.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: 1 of 9 known-location awards · market: CPV 7133 · UK-wide, n=13
11%62%

Most of this buyer’s recorded winners are registered outside Yorkshire and the Humber.

How long to a decision?
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.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: 13 decided notices · market: division 71 · Yorkshire and the Humber, n=13
116 days91 days

Half of these awards were announced within 116 days of the bid deadline.

How often single-bid or direct?
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.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: 5 procurements with awards; rival share unknown · market: division 71 · Yorkshire and the Humber, n=13
—8%

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.

Past bids do not predict this tender.

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.

Last 36 months.

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. The procurement will begin with Conditions of Participation questions assessed on a pass/fail basis. These questions will assess lot-relevant credentials, regulatory compliance and conflicts of interest, financial standing, health and safety, environmental and human rights practices, quality management, information security, insurance, pre-employment checks, technical capability and tender-process requirements

Suppliers meeting the mandatory Conditions of Participation will be invited to the Invitation to Tender stage. ITT responses will include supporting evidence and will be evaluated against the quality and commercial award criteria set out in the procurement documents. Yorkshire Water may apply any further stages or refine the procurement documents in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 and the published procurement approach.
