Summary of the contracting process

Yorkshire Water Services Limited is seeking one supplier to renew 39,818 metres of mains pipeline in the Sheffield area. The work covers water-main refurbishment, pipeline relaying and installation, together with associated water-distribution and sewerage pipeline construction. It is a works contract managed for the buyer by Efficio Limited, a consultancy services provider. Delivery is in Sheffield and the wider Yorkshire and Humber area. The requirement suits contractors able to undertake substantial pipeline renewal and related civil engineering works for a water utility. The successful supplier will deliver the full requirement rather than separate packages, as the procurement is organised as one lot and seeks a single provider.

The process has reached tender: Yorkshire Water invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure for utilities. The gross estimated value is £17,201,376. The enquiry deadline was 21 August 2026 at 4:00pm. Conditions of Participation and contractual compliance submissions were due on 7 August 2026; the first Commercial Workbook and Quality Questionnaire submissions were due on 4 September 2026 at 4:00pm. The award decision was due by 3 November 2026. The contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2028. Evaluation is weighted 70% to the Commercial Workbook and 30% to the Quality Questionnaire. The contract will use NEC Option A terms.

This opportunity is aimed at an established pipeline and civil engineering contractor with the resources to renew nearly 40 kilometres of mains within a 12-month contract period. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate economic capacity through the Conditions of Participation questionnaire and technical capability through that questionnaire and the Quality Questionnaire. The procurement requires two rounds of Commercial Workbook submissions, so bidders need commercial teams able to develop and refine pricing as well as operational teams able to provide clear evidence of quality and delivery capability. It is suited to businesses experienced in water-main refurbishment, pipeline relaying, pipe-system installation and associated water or sewerage infrastructure works, with sufficient capacity to act as the sole supplier.
