UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Yorkshire Water Services Limited, located in Bradford, is currently in the planning stage for a procurement process titled "Wind Turbine" under the private utility category. This initiative involves engaging the market regarding the deployment of new on-shore wind turbines and repowering existing sites across multiple regions of the United Kingdom including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK. Interested parties are encouraged to express their interest via email by 31 January 2026, as outlined in the preliminary market engagement notice. This procurement process aims to address regions from UKC to UKK starting from as early as 1 January 2029 with potential end dates up to the end of 2031.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for turbine manufacturers and suppliers who wish to expand their presence in the UK renewable energy sector, particularly in wind energy solutions. Businesses capable of supplying wind-energy generators, wind turbines, and associated equipment—with indicative sizes between 500 kW to 3.45 MW—will find themselves well-suited to compete. The contract is open to both small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), facilitating involvement from diverse business types. There are possibilities for direct purchases or broker-facilitated procurement, offering flexibility in procurement methods, making it an attractive proposition for innovative energy solutions providers looking to contribute to substantial projects on Yorkshire Water’s operational land.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Wind Turbine

Notice Description

Yorkshire Water (YW) and Kelda are seeking to engage the market to discuss their planned deployment of new on-shore wind turbines and the repowering of some existing sites. Work done to date indicates deployments of 1-3 turbines at each location, with 25 sites under Consideration. The deployments would be on YW operational land and would directly power the adjacent operational site, offsetting grid purchased power. Early turbine identification, based on site constraints and available wind yields, suggests Kelda are looking to initially procure in the 500 kW - 3.45 MW range. This will result in a variance of turbine sizes from hub heights between 40 - 80 meters, and tip heights up to the region of 117 metres The purpose of this notice is to open discussion with turbine manufacturers / suppliers to understand; - Equipment / turbines availability; - Indicative lead times for supply; - Indicative pricing, both capex and opex; - Indicative commercial terms; and - After sales maintenance provision. These are non-conclusive and are likely to change as development progresses. YW and Kelda are open to both new and refurbished turbines via direct purchases from OEMs, broker facilitated procurement and framework agreements.
