Summary of the contracting process

Yorkshire Water Services Limited is undertaking a procurement process for contingent labour services through a single-lot framework within the utilities sector. They aim to secure temporary workforce solutions across IT and business functions that include roles in development, infrastructure, data, security, transformation, HR, finance, and administrative support. The procurement process follows a selective and competitive flexible procedure, complying with IR35 and other employment regulations. The process is currently at the Award stage, as of 24th April 2026, with a contract period starting on 1st June 2026 and potentially extending until 31st May 2030, subject to performance and regulatory requirements. The organisation is based in Bradford, United Kingdom, and engages suppliers to meet its strategic workforce needs.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in labour supply and management, particularly within IT and business functions. As a Managed Service Provider (MSP) model is employed, businesses that excel in sourcing, screening, onboarding, and managing contingent workers would be ideal candidates. Given the comprehensive nature of the services required, large scale entities that can provide transparent rate structures and seamlessly integrate with internal workforce planning processes while ensuring compliance would be particularly well-suited to participate. This presents a substantial growth opportunity for firms capable of delivering flexible yet compliant labour solutions tailored to complex organisational needs, thus enhancing market presence and expanding service capabilities within the utility sector.
