Published requirement description

The scope of this tender includes propane supply, delivery, tank hire and associated infrastructure, telemetry, storage and transfer equipment, maintenance, repairs, emergency response, mobilisation, supplier switching support, sustainability requirements, contract management and associated commercial services for Severn Trent Water. Severn Trent Green Power Limited (STGP) has similar operational requirements and intends to coordinate its tender exercise alongside STW's. STGP's requirements will be clearly identified as separate.

How the procedure runs: This will be a single-stage tender with two questionnaire elements: PQQ Pre-Qualification Questionnaire, RFP Request for Proposal Questionnaire: Suppliers must complete all relevant PQQ and RFP sections and provide the requested information. Pass fail questions must be passed, and weighted questions will be scored using the published methodology. The PQQ confirms minimum suitability and capability. Lot-specific solutions, delivery commitments, mobilisation, maintenance, service levels, emergency response and other scored commitments will be evaluated at RFP stage. Award will be based on the Most Advantageous Tender, using the criteria and weightings set out in the tender documents.
