UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Severn Trent Water Limited is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for building maintenance services. As a private utility company based in Coventry, UK, Severn Trent is conducting a market engagement exercise to gather insights from potential suppliers in the construction and maintenance industry, as identified by the CPV codes 45000000 and 50000000. This exercise aims to inform the potential development of a framework agreement for a water utility in the Midlands with an estimated annual spend of approximately £9 million. The process is expected to appoint multiple suppliers, and while a formal tender process has not yet commenced, the market engagement phase is anticipated to close on 24th October 2025, as per the scheduled engagement milestone.

This pre-market engagement presents a valuable opportunity for businesses involved in construction and repair services, especially those with the capacity to handle large-scale maintenance projects. With the potential framework agreement covering a significant annual spend, small to medium-sized enterprises with expertise in the water utility sector could greatly benefit. Participating in the engagement process will provide insights into future tender opportunities and enable businesses to align their offerings with the buyer's strategic needs, thus enhancing their prospects for growth by securing long-term government contracts. Interested suppliers are encouraged to engage by providing their capabilities and interest information, ensuring they position themselves favourably for the forthcoming tender opportunities.
