Summary of the contracting process

The Tees Valley Combined Authority has completed the procurement process for the installation of a Site Wide Water Network through the South Tees Development Corporation. This framework agreement includes potable and raw water connections across various regions in the United Kingdom. The procurement method followed a limited competition below threshold, and contracts were established with ESH Construction Limited, Rainton Construction Limited, and A E Yates Limited. The contract signing occurred on 4th March 2026, and the operational period extends until 12th October 2028, with potential renewals up to 2031. The initiative falls under the construction category, primarily targeting works related to water and sewage pipelines, incorporating a structured mini-competition for projects exceeding £75,000. The authority's head office is located in Darlington, with a business suite established at Teesside International Airport.

This framework presents significant growth opportunities for large construction firms specialising in pipeline and water network installations. The structured approach allows top-ranking suppliers to secure projects directly, with competitive terms agreed upon during the tendering phase. Businesses equipped to handle construction works under managed frameworks and capable of delivering large-scale infrastructure projects could find a fruitful engagement through this arrangement. The specified regions offer ample job prospects across multiple locations, thereby encouraging wider business outreach and participation in essential infrastructure development. Companies aligned with the strategic vision of South Tees Development Corporation, particularly those with experience in similar public works and infrastructure projects, stand poised to benefit from these opportunities.
