UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Severn Trent Water Limited is procuring technical and operational training services for its water and sewerage operations, with associated use by Hafren Dyfrdwy Cyfyngedig, Severn Trent Services Operations UK Limited and Severn Trent Green Power Limited. The requirement covers confined spaces and working at heights; mobile plant and lifting equipment; new roads and street works; excavations, networks and network safety; work equipment and general hazards; and asbestos awareness. This is a services opportunity, classified as training services (CPV 80500000). Delivery covers locations across the United Kingdom, including England and Wales. The work is intended to support safe, competent operation of plant, equipment and utility networks, and compliance with relevant workplace safety and street-works requirements.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through an open competitive flexible procedure for a utilities framework, evaluated on quality and price weighted equally at 50% each. Lot 1, confined spaces and working at heights, was awarded to Mines Rescue Service Ltd on 24 March 2026 for £1,973,694 gross (£1,644,745 net), with a contract from 16 April 2026 to 15 April 2029 and one possible two-year extension. Lots 2 to 5 were awarded on 16 September 2026: mobile plant and lifting equipment to Certora Training Limited and C&G Services (Europe) Ltd for £1,120,167 gross; streetworks to C&G Services and Relyon Nutec UK Limited for £1,193,871; excavation and network safety to Relyon Nutec and VP PLC for £1,515,162; and work equipment and general hazards to C&G Services for £1,697,388. These contracts run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with one possible two-year extension. Lot 6, asbestos awareness, remains active.

This requirement demonstrates recurring demand from a major UK water utility for specialist training that combines safety-critical instruction with practical operational competence. Relevant suppliers are training organisations able to deliver nationally across utility and industrial settings, covering confined-space and working-at-height work, mobile plant and lifting equipment, street works, excavation and network safety, work equipment, general hazards and asbestos awareness. Credibility would come from demonstrable subject expertise, experienced trainers, robust safety management and the capacity to support multiple operational sites and participating group companies. The award pattern also shows that smaller suppliers can compete: each lot was marked as suitable for SMEs, and several lots were awarded to SME providers. A future competitor would need to offer strong course quality alongside competitive pricing, manage delivery at scale, and support a framework that may involve both direct awards and further competition.
