Summary of the contracting process

Thames Water Utilities Limited is conducting a public procurement process under the tender ID FA1650, titled "Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs)", aimed at replacing their current aged HGVs with new vehicles to enhance the efficiency of their recently insourced Biosolids (Cake) haulage operation. The procurement falls under the industry category of heavy-duty motor vehicles (CPV 34140000) and encompasses the entire Thames Water region including UKI and UKJ. Initially announced on 3rd May 2023, the procurement process features a selective, negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition. The tender period concludes on 22nd May 2023, with a framework agreement envisioned for an initial term of 3 years, extendable up to a total of 8 years based on performance. The estimated contract value is £9,000,000 GBP.

This procurement presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacture and supply of heavy-duty motor vehicles, particularly those specialising in articulated trucks, flatbed and tipper trucks. Suppliers capable of delivering a complete package, including cab, chassis, and body specification, are well-suited to compete for this contract. Additionally, companies that have strong electronic ordering, invoicing, and payment systems are at an advantage. Given the long-term nature of the framework agreement and the significant financial scope of the contract, this tender could provide a stable and lucrative opportunity for businesses aiming to expand their market share and establish long-term relationships with a major utility provider like Thames Water.
