Tankering Services · UK public procurement notice
Authority: Anglian Water Services (Public body)
What is being bought4 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionProvision of Tankering services for planned and emergency work plus Tankering support during any incidents. This would mean provision of larger numbers of tankers at very short notice. Tankering can be anywhere across the Anglian Water region and an estimated annual spend of approx £16 m. All awarded companies are awarded to collaborate to promote efficiencies.
Please note, this a revised UK6 notice for this procurement process. The original UK6 incorrectly detailed the process as an open framework which it was not. We have awarded a framework under 4 lots, using the competitive flexible procedure.
The previous notice is 2025/S 000-085005 and all other details on this notice are correct.
As a result of publishing a revised notice, this new notice shows incorrect dates, as it could not be published with retrospective dates. The dates on the original notice listed above are correct. Please ignore the dates in this notice. All other details are correct.
To summarise the above -
. The original notice and its contents were correct except the categorising the framework as 'open'. It was not.
. The new notice is also correct except the dates need to be taken from the original notice.
All other content in the notices will be the same in both.
- How the procedure runs: This is a single-stage procurement event in which suppliers will be assessed based on both their capability to deliver the required services and the competitiveness of their commercial proposals. Suppliers may submit bids for up to four geographical areas. The highest-scoring suppliers in each area will be appointed to the framework. The framework allows for the appointment of up to 30 suppliers across all four lots, with an anticipated minimum of six suppliers per lot. Framework awards will be contingent upon suppliers meeting all mandatory Pass/Fail criteria, successfully completing risk assessments, and agreeing to the Terms and Conditions of the contract. As this is a one-stage process, all relevant documentation is available within the tender event, including the Bidder's Guidance Document, which outlines the full procurement process and requirements.

Published description of the framework
Suppliers are required to submit their rates for the services outlined in this tender. Each geographical area (Lot) will be evaluated independently.
As part of the pricing submission, suppliers must provide a detailed breakdown of their rates. This should include the proportion of the total rate attributable to key cost components such as labour, fuel, and any other relevant factors. Each component should be expressed as a percentage of the overall rate, to provide transparency and support value-for-money assessments.

Published sub-criteria (2)
- Qualitative: 70%
- Price: 30%
Published award criteria (2)
- Qualitative: This will involve the Bidder providing written responses to a number of questions . These will be evaluated by Anglian Water against pre-defined scoring criteria.
- Price: Pricing Proposal
- Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Tankering Services” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract, and call-offs are awarded directly: getting appointed is the whole game.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
