Summary of the contracting process

Yorkshire Water Services Limited, a private utility company based in Bradford, is currently in the planning stage of a tender process for the deployment of new on-shore wind turbines. This procurement, classified under the goods category, involves equipment related to wind-energy generators. The initiative aims to replace grid-purchased power with direct site-generated energy through turbines located on operational land across several regions in the United Kingdom including UKC, UKD, and UKE, among others. Interested parties are encouraged to participate in the preliminary market engagement which is set to close on 8th May 2026. The contract period is scheduled to begin on 1st January 2027 and conclude by 31st December 2030, with potential extension options available.

This tender offers significant opportunities for turbine manufacturers and suppliers, especially those capable of providing turbines in the range of 500 kW to 3.45 MW, as well as sub-250 kW for later phases. Businesses specialised in wind turbines and turbine-related services such as transport management, installation, and after-sales maintenance stand to benefit greatly. Suppliers interested in direct purchases from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) or engaging in broker-facilitated procurement or framework agreements are particularly well-suited. Given the procurement is open to both new and refurbished turbines, the opportunity encourages participation by small and medium enterprises to contribute innovative solutions to Yorkshire Water's green energy efforts.

Notice Title

Wind Turbines

Notice Description

Yorkshire Water (YW) and Kelda are seeking to engage the market to discuss their planned deployment of new on-shore wind turbines. Work done to date indicates deployments of 1-3 turbines at each location, with 7 sites under consideration initially plus 2 re-powering sites. As YW and Kelda look to expand this programme, they anticipate a small scale wind development programme in addition. 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, but not limited to, 117 metres. Later phases of wind development will be in the sub 250 kW range. 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. - Transport management - Installation These are non-conclusive and are likely to change as development progresses. YW and Kelda anticipate the award of the procurement in 3 bandings: 1. 1MW A procurement partner may look to cover all of these bandings or just 1. YW and Kelda are open to both new and refurbished turbines via direct purchases from OEMs, broker facilitated procurement and framework agreements.
