Summary of the contracting process

Severn Trent Water Limited is seeking to engage potential suppliers in the planning stage of a tender process titled "Supply of Reinforcement for Concrete Base Slabs." This procurement falls under the industry category of construction materials, specifically involving bars, rods, wire, and profiles used in construction. The engagement is part of a preliminary market engagement notice, scheduled until 30 July 2026. The location of the procurement extends across various regions in the United Kingdom, including regions such as UKC, UKG, and UKJ. Severn Trent Water, headquartered in Coventry (CV1 2LZ), invites interested parties to help shape the sourcing strategy prior to the formal tender publication. The process involves private utility classifications and aims to implement a framework agreement for the design and supply of modular pre-cast solutions with installation efficiency in mind.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Supply of Reinforcement for Concrete Base Slabs

Notice Description

Severn Trent Water are looking for partners to develop a fast and safe to install base slab reinforcement for a range of liquid storage tanks. These tanks can be either rectangular or circular and are to be constructed from Severn Trent designed modular pre-cast concrete panels which are much quicker to install than traditional offerings. The design of the base slab reinforcements should focus on creating a small catalogue of optimised repeatable units that can be deployed to any size of tank without major modification to the design philosophy. The solution should focus on minimising installation time on site and reduce the amount of manual handling whilst ensuring the base slab and wall are correctly structurally tied together.
