Summary of the contracting process

Severn Trent Water Limited is seeking suppliers for bulk propane gas supply and delivery across England. The requirement covers propane supply, tank hire and storage, maintaining agreed minimum tank levels, telemetry monitoring, delivery planning, transfer equipment, maintenance and repairs. It also includes emergency response, mobilisation, supplier-switching support, sustainability requirements, contract management and related commercial services. The procurement is divided into five site-based lots: Site 1A requires five tanks, Site 1B one tank, and Sites 2, 3 and 4 three tanks each, with associated equipment and annual tank maintenance. Severn Trent Green Power Limited intends to coordinate a separate tender exercise alongside this requirement, with its own requirements clearly identified.

The process has reached tender: Severn Trent invited offers through an open, single-stage competitive flexible procedure using an electronic portal. Suppliers must complete pre-qualification and request-for-proposal questionnaires; pass/fail questions must be passed and weighted responses are scored. Bids are due by 19 October 2026 at 10:00 BST, with the award decision due by 1 December 2026 at 23:59 UTC. Each of the five lots has an estimated gross value of £10,000,000. Contracts are scheduled from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2031, with possible renewal or extension to 31 December 2036. Evaluation is weighted 40% price, 40% technical and 20% sustainability and compliance.

This opportunity suits propane suppliers and specialist fuel, storage and industrial-gas service providers able to deliver reliably to sites across England. Suitable bidders will need the infrastructure and operational capacity to supply bulk propane, install or provide tanks and related transfer equipment, monitor tank levels through telemetry, plan deliveries and maintain minimum stock levels. The requirement also favours businesses with dependable maintenance and repair capability, mobilisation planning, emergency response arrangements and the ability to support supplier switching. Experience managing service levels, sustainability and compliance commitments, contract administration and site-specific delivery solutions will be relevant. All five lots are identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, allowing bidders to pursue the sites that match their operational coverage and capacity.
