What is being bought

Yorkshire Water intends to establish a multi-supplier Framework Agreement for the provision of technical consultancy, engineering design, technical assurance, and specialist support services required to deliver its AMP8 investment programme (2025-2030). The framework will provide a single commercial route to access a broad range of technical capabilities, supporting Yorkshire Water's Engineering, Asset Management and Commercial functions. It will replace existing Technical Services and Technical Assurance frameworks and ensure continuity, resilience and flexibility in securing specialist expertise. The framework will include multiple Lots reflecting different categories of technical need, including project-level engineering support, independent technical assurance, complex multi-disciplinary design services, and strategic design capability development. Further detail on each Lot is provided in later sections of this notice and in the procurement documents.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 71. The category anchor is Engineering services (71300000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 7110,1165 median · 30 average (4,041 of 10,116 with a bid count)4.1 average (4,444 of 10,116 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

Yorkshire Water may conduct one or more rounds of Selection and reserves the right to shortlist suppliers progressing to subsequent stages.\nStage 2 - Contractual Compliance:\nShortlisted suppliers will be invited to review and, where permitted, comment on the Proposed Contract. Yorkshire Water will refine and finalise the contract terms during this stage. Only suppliers who accept the final contract terms will progress to the ITT stage.\nStage 3 - Invitation to Tender (Quality & Commercial):\nSuppliers will submit detailed quality and commercial tenders, which will be evaluated in accordance with the award criteria set out in the ITT documentation.\nFollowing evaluation, Yorkshire Water will identify the most economically advantageous tenders and award places on the Technical Services and Assurance Framework.\nThe procedure structure and indicative timelines are set out in the procurement documents."
