Summary of the contracting process

Yorkshire Water Services Limited is procuring diffuser system services for its wastewater treatment asset portfolio across the United Kingdom. The requirement covers Activated Sludge Plants and associated wastewater treatment processes, including assessment of existing diffuser assets, engineering design, supply of diffusers and mechanical components, installation, commissioning, performance validation and phased handover. It is an end-to-end replacement and new-system delivery service intended to maintain operational continuity. The procurement is primarily for goods, with associated engineering, installation and wastewater treatment services. Relevant work includes sewage-treatment plant equipment, mechanical installation and engineering design. The opportunity is for suppliers able to deliver integrated diffuser-system schemes rather than supply equipment alone, including the practical delivery and commissioning of works at wastewater treatment assets.

The procurement has reached tender: Yorkshire Water has invited offers through a multi-stage competitive flexible procedure under the utilities regime. Suppliers first complete conditions-of-participation checks, followed by contractual compliance and then quality and commercial tendering. Expressions of interest were due by 12 August 2026 at 23:59 BST. Tenders must be submitted electronically through SAP Ariba following invitation. The proposed closed, multi-supplier framework is expected to run from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2030, with possible extension to 31 December 2034, subject to performance, regulatory requirements and business need. Its estimated value is £9,273,550 gross. Framework call-offs may be made directly or through further competition. Commercial and quality responses each carry 50% of the evaluation weighting, with award decisions due by 20 November 2026.

This opportunity suits specialist wastewater-treatment contractors, diffuser-system manufacturers and engineering-led suppliers able to combine asset assessment, design, equipment supply, mechanical installation and commissioning. Strong candidates will need demonstrable experience delivering diffuser or comparable aeration-system projects within Activated Sludge Plants and other operational wastewater environments. The requirement favours organisations with the technical capability to validate performance, manage phased handover and maintain continuity while existing treatment assets are replaced or upgraded. Suppliers should also be able to prepare robust quality and commercial submissions, meet Yorkshire Water’s conditions of participation and accept the final framework contract terms. Capacity to support multiple call-off contracts over a multi-year programme is important, including work awarded directly or through further competition among appointed framework suppliers.
