Summary of the contracting process

Severn Trent Water Limited is seeking suppliers for its Laboratory Tender focusing on Analytical Services in the water supply industry. The tender is structured into four lots, each addressing different aspects of wastewater and soil sampling. Key dates include the end of the tender period on 26 September 2024. The process is currently in the tender stage and employs a negotiated procedure with prior competition calls. The overall contract value is £55,000,000, with individual lot values ranging from £2,500,000 to £4,000,000. The procurement covers locations across the United Kingdom and includes services that meet regulatory requirements for water testing and analysis.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in laboratory and analytical services, particularly those with experience in water, wastewater, and soil sampling. Companies that can offer comprehensive testing and data analysis services complying with strict regulatory standards would be highly competitive. The procurement method encourages selective engagement, promising growth for businesses that can effectively manage large-scale environmental sampling projects and provide end-to-end services from collection to electronic reporting. Suppliers with capabilities in water treatment and adherence to the Code of Practice for Agricultural use of Sewage Sludge will be particularly well-suited.

Laboratory Tender - Analytical Services

Notice Description

The Labs Analytical Services cover all regulatory requirements for water sampling, testing and analysis for Severn Trent and Hafren Dyfrdwy. The contract is for wastewater testing, monitoring and retrieving data on our Wastewater & Soils samples. Our sourcing proposal is to have 4 Lots which would each have one to two main supplier(s) to provide either all/or majority of the Regulatory & non-Regulatory requirements. Lot 1 - Analytical Services (Soils) Lot 2 - Analytical Services (Waste (Non-Regulated) Lot 3 - Analytical Services (Wastewater & Sludge (Regulated)

Lot Information

Analytical Services (Soils)

Agricultural land must be sampled to assess the suitability of the land for the application of Biosolids (treated sewage sludge) or clarification sludge (from water treatment). Sampling for Biosolids applications is required before the initial application and then at intervals of 5, 10 & 20 years. The soil sampling depth and the analysis required will differ between these timeframes. Sampling for clarification is before individual applications. We currently take and analyse in the region of 7,000 soil samples per annum with each sample comprising 25 sub-samples taken from an area of up to 5 hectares. Sampling and Analysis needs to comply with the Code of Practice for Agricultural use of Sewage Sludge & Biosolids Assurance Scheme (BAS). BAS requires soil samples to be collected by competent personnel, recording of the location of each soil sample (including the location of the sub samples), chain of custody, suitable transport and storage and for the analysis to be undertaken by a BAS approved laboratory. Suppliers will provide an end-to-end service from sample request to supply of analysis results both electronically uploaded to Severn Trent's system (currently QUIS) plus supplier headed reports where required for submission to the Environment Agency The service comprises: Soil sampling Analysis using BAS approved laboratory services
