UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Severn Trent Water Limited, in collaboration with Hafren Dyfrdwy Cyfyngedig, is planning a procurement process titled "LCV Framework" aimed at the provision of light commercial vehicles (LCVs) for their AMP8 Replacement & Growth Programme. The procurement falls under the 'goods' category focusing on vehicles such as small, medium, large, and 5-tonne vans, pickup trucks, and dropside vans, available in electric, hybrid, and internal combustion engine variants. This framework seeks suppliers for both purchase and lease options. The market engagement process is currently in the planning stage, with significant engagement scheduled to conclude by 23rd January 2026. The framework agreement is expected to commence on 30th April 2026, covering delivery within the United Kingdom.

This tender offers expansive business growth opportunities, particularly for suppliers specialising in innovative vehicle solutions, including electric and hybrid technologies. Businesses that can offer competitive and environmentally sustainable vehicle options – such as small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with a focus on transport and vehicles classified under CPV codes 34131000, 34136000, and 34139000 – are well-suited for this engagement. The LCV Framework will enable potential suppliers to establish long-term partnerships with significant utility providers in the UK, providing a pathway not only for immediate sales and leasing opportunities but also for future collaborations under a framework agreement, enhancing their market presence and contributing to sustainable transport solutions.
