UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Yorkshire Water Services Limited is procuring a machine-learning-driven portfolio forecasting and risk tool for water-industry asset delivery programmes. The software must provide project controls, project managers and programme managers with portfolio-level insight and risk analysis across small, medium and large infrastructure projects. Users need accessible information with drill-down into Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project schedules, reporting and analysis. The requirement also includes vendor support for digital implementation. It is a software and information-systems supply contract, with delivery across Yorkshire Water’s United Kingdom operations and potential scale-up to the utility’s wider programme needs. The opportunity is intended for suppliers with an established infrastructure or water-industry track record in delivering comparable machine-learning portfolio tools and implementation support.

The process reached tender: Yorkshire Water invited offers through a selective competitive flexible procedure from suppliers that had passed the earlier SSQ and Code of Practice assessment. Invitations and submissions are handled electronically through Ariba. Expressions of interest and enquiries were due by 3 August 2026 at 23:59, with the award decision due by 30 September 2026 at 23:59. The initial contract period is 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2030, with a possible extension to 31 March 2031 and options to scale the requirements and projects. The estimated value is £3,000,000 excluding VAT, or £3,600,000 including VAT. Quality accounts for 70% of the evaluation and commercials 30%. The procedure has two ITT rounds, including compliance, best-and-final offer and supplier demonstrations.

This opportunity suits software suppliers with proven machine-learning, portfolio forecasting, project-controls and infrastructure programme capabilities, particularly experience in the water industry. Competitors need to demonstrate a tool that handles functional and non-functional requirements, risk analysis, reporting, accessible user information and detailed Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project data. They should be able to support digital implementation and show relevant industry experience, delivery schedules, analysis capability and added value. Cyber Essentials and successful completion of the earlier SSQ capability questionnaire and Code of Practice assessment were required for the invited tenderers. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, provided they can support implementation and accommodate potential growth in the number and scale of infrastructure projects.
