UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Severn Trent Water Limited intends to procure a UK-wide supply of ductile iron pipes and associated non-mechanical fittings for wastewater and potable-water applications. The requirement covers sewer mains, high- and low-pressure pipelines, pipes, pipe fittings and pipe joints (CPV 44130000 and related classifications). The purchasing authorities are Severn Trent Water Limited and Hafren Dyfrdwy Cyfyngedig, with Hafren Dyfrdwy operating under Welsh devolved regulations. The goods will be delivered across the United Kingdom. The procurement is for a utilities framework agreement, intended to support the authorities’ pipeline and water infrastructure needs. Businesses that manufacture, distribute or supply ductile iron pipe systems and compatible non-mechanical fittings are the most directly relevant.

This is a planned procurement at the pre-tender stage; the authorities have announced their intention to establish a framework agreement, but there is no invitation to tender yet. They expect to use a selective competitive flexible procedure, with a future procurement notice expected on 18 September 2026. The planned expression-of-interest deadline is 2 October 2026, and the award decision is expected by 3 May 2027. The single planned lot is expected to run from 1 July 2027 to 30 June 2035. Evaluation is intended to weight commercial factors at 55%, quality and technical factors at 30%, and environmental, social and governance factors at 15%. Market engagement was planned to understand current supply capability, with responses expected by 30 June 2026.

The procurement is likely to suit established manufacturers, specialist distributors and supply-chain businesses with dependable access to ductile iron pipes and associated non-mechanical fittings for potable-water and wastewater infrastructure. Relevant suppliers should prepare evidence of product range, technical performance, compatibility of fittings and ability to support both sewer and pressurised pipeline applications. The long planned framework period indicates a requirement for sustained supply, dependable logistics and the capacity to serve deliveries across the United Kingdom rather than a one-off local order. Businesses should also be ready to address quality, technical and ESG questions, since these factors together account for 45% of the intended evaluation. The authorities are using market engagement to understand available products, suppliers and current marketplace capability before the tender is issued.
