Summary of the contracting process

Severn Trent Water Limited, acting as the primary contracting authority alongside Hafren Dyfrdwy Cyfyngedig, is currently in the planning stage for a procurement process titled "Fencing Services." This initiative falls under the "works" procurement category and is subject to utility-related regulations. The engagement period, detailed in a preliminary market engagement notice, will remain open until 3rd May 2026. The procurement process addresses several geographical locations within the UK, including Coventry and Wrexham, with the contract period scheduled between November 2026 and October 2029. The project involves the installation and supply of fencing components, safety fencing, and related materials, with a total estimated value of £1,800,000.

This procurement opportunity presents significant growth potential for businesses specialising in fencing solutions, including suppliers of fences, wooden posts, and safety equipment. The project is particularly advantageous for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) due to its above-threshold nature and long-term contract duration. Interested parties should consider engaging in the preliminary market discussions, as this could lead to valuable business connections with leading private utility entities. Although responding to the market engagement notice is optional, it provides participating suppliers a platform to showcase their capabilities and potentially secure future tender invitations from Severn Trent Water Limited and Hafren Dyfrdwy Cyfyngedig.
