Lot #1This procurement activity intends to award contracts for Ferric Sulphate on a dual…RenewalPublished value£200,000,000

This procurement activity intends to award contracts for Ferric Sulphate on a dual supply basis for both packed and bulk products. The total estimated value varies from £140m to £250m over the 10 year period and delivery is required to circa 100 sites in total. The value range is due to the amount of dosing necessary to meet stringent new EU directives of phosphorous removal (WINEP)coming into play over the next few years as well as the treatment of raw water for drinking. There is a volume ramp up period between Q1 2023 and Q1 2025 when the annual requirements increase from 22,000 tons to 95,000 tons as Yorkshire Water Sites are commissioned.

Lots:

The Tender will be split into 2 lots - splitting the Yorkshire demand into two geographical areas, with a rough 80/20 split by region. Details and site addresses are covered in the procurement documents.

Bidders are required to cover in full at least one of the above-mentioned lots to qualify.

The Process:

In the first instance the expression of interests to participate must be submitted via email to Hiren Manek ([email protected]). Upon receipt of an expression of interest a SAP Ariba registration link will be sent to register for the tender process. Potential bidders will then be invited to complete a Request for Information (RFI). After the RFI stage a RFP stage will require tenderers to submit detailed responses to technical questions as well as submitting commercial bids.

This procurement activity intends to award the supply of Bulk and Packed Ferric Sulphate on a dual supply basis ensuring there is security of supply to allow Yorkshire Water to meet its Phosphorous removal requirements over both Amp7 and Amp8.

Quality criteria: All bidders will be assessed from a capability perspective against a range of technical questions. Bidders will be required to demonstrate their capacity to supply the required volumes requirements in their response. YWS might conduct reference Site visits and/or checks related to the submitted information.

Scoring criteria for each of the questions will be shared alongside the questionnaire. Bidders that do not meet the minimum criteria, will be excluded from the process at this stage.
