## Description
Severn Trent Water Limited (STW) intends to establish a multi-supplier framework agreement for the refurbishment of reedbed assets across its wastewater treatment portfolio.
The framework will support both planned and reactive interventions to restore treatment performance, extend asset life, and contribute to environmental and regulatory objectives.
STW is seeking to understand market appetite and capability in advance of finalising the procurement strategy. The scope and structure of the framework may therefore be refined following this engagement.
STW intends to establish a framework agreement for the delivery of reedbed refurbishment works.
The scope of services is expected to include, but is not limited to:
Reedbed refurbishment works, including desludging, media replacement, and replanting
Associated civil, mechanical, and hydraulic works
Site-specific technical assessment and development where required to support delivery
Adaptation of standardised designs to suit site conditions
Provision of efficient and repeatable delivery solutions across multiple sites
Optional maintenance and performance optimisation services (subject to confirmation) 
STW will typically provide standardised designs and technical specifications. Suppliers will be expected to adapt these designs where necessary and ensure successful delivery and performance outcomes.
Approximately 60 reedbeds are anticipated to require refurbishment within the first two years, with a wider asset base of approximately 700 reedbeds across the portfolio.
The framework will support both planned programmes and reactive requirements.
STW is undertaking this procurement to establish a flexible, multi-supplier framework capable of delivering reedbed refurbishment works at scale across its asset base. 
STW is particularly interested in understanding how suppliers can support efficient, repeatable delivery and consistent performance outcomes.
The scope and structure of the framework may be refined following this notice and subsequent market engagement.
Call-off contracts under the framework may be awarded via direct award and/or mini-competition.
