Water, Wastewater and Ancillary Services

YPO and its Collaborative Partners is seeking feedback from suppliers within the water retail market to help shape the next iteration of our framework. Our aim is to ensure the solution is fully fit-for-purpose for public sector customers, enabling them to access high-quality services with confidence and ease. To achieve this, we invite suppliers to engage with us on the following key areas: • Expanding the scope: identifying opportunities to broaden service coverage and enhance value. • Reviewing Terms and Conditions: ensuring clarity, fairness, and compliance with the Procurement Act 2023. • Discussing market conditions: sharing insights on current challenges and opportunities within the sector. • Exploring the price element: considering approaches that balance affordability with sustainability. • Delivering Social Value and Sustainability: reviewing options to embed meaningful social, environmental, and community benefits. • Potential routes to market: evaluating pathways that encourage competition and innovation. • Innovation and technology: identifying solutions that drive efficiency and future-proof service delivery. • Mechanisms for call-offs: discussing practical approaches to ensure flexibility and responsiveness for public sector customers. Through this engagement, YPO and its Collaborative Partners aims to co-create a solution that not only meets statutory requirements but also delivers excellence, innovation, and long-term value for the public sector. Sessions will take place remotely (via Microsoft Teams) or in-person, depending on the availability and capacity. Please contact Maria Hadro at energy@ypo.co.uk to request the Request for Information (RFI) document and to arrange availability for a PME session.
