Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process pertains to the "Supply of Water treatment Chemical - Ferric Sulphate," initiated by Yorkshire Water Services Limited. This is classified under the industry category of water-treatment chemicals, located in Bradford, United Kingdom. Currently in the Tender stage, the procurement is expected to run until 26th February 2022. The process includes a dual supply of both packed and bulk Ferric Sulphate over a period of up to 10 years, with an estimated contract value ranging from £140 million to £250 million. Interested parties must submit expressions of interest via email to Hiren Manek, after which they will receive a link for registration on SAP Ariba to proceed with the Request for Information (RFI) stage.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in the supply of water treatment chemicals, particularly those capable of providing bulk and packed products. Given the significant volume ramp-up anticipated from 22,000 tons to 95,000 tons between Q1 2023 and Q1 2025, businesses that have the capacity to meet stringent regulatory requirements and adapt to long-term supply contracts would be particularly well-suited to compete. The projected long-term agreements not only facilitate investment in production capacity but also enhance market stability, making this an attractive prospect for suppliers in the chemical manufacturing sector.
