UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Severn Trent Water Limited is seeking soya beans, classified under CPV 03111100. The procurement is described as the third production test project for the CDP connection. Its stated purpose is to test whether suppliers can access the Discovery Posting and to check how the tender links with Discovery. This is a goods requirement rather than a works or services contract. The procurement is being run by Severn Trent Water Limited, a private utility. The requirement is presented as a single tendered package. The source material does not identify a delivery location, operational site or end use for the soya beans, so suppliers will need to establish those practical requirements from the bidding documents before deciding whether the opportunity fits their supply capability.

The process has reached tender: Severn Trent Water Limited invited offers through an open procedure using a competitive flexible procedure, with an accelerated tendering period. The tender and enquiry deadlines were both 26 August 2026 at 04:00 UTC. The expected award decision date was 16 September 2026 at 23:59:59 UTC. The single lot has a contract period from 1 March 2028 to 28 February 2030. Its gross estimated value is £1. The award basis is price only, weighted at 100%. Bids were to be submitted in English, and electronic submission was not allowed. The bidding documents were available through the Ariba project link. The procurement was above the relevant threshold and used an accelerated approach justified for utilities outside central government.

This opportunity suits suppliers that can provide soya beans and respond to a straightforward, price-led goods requirement. A supplier would need to review the bidding documents, meet the buyer’s requirements for the single package and provide a price that can be assessed as the sole award factor. The procurement’s stated purpose is testing the connection and supplier access to the Discovery Posting, so it may be more relevant to businesses willing to participate in a production test as well as to ordinary commodity suppliers. The tender requires submissions in English and does not allow electronic submission, so bidders need a suitable non-electronic submission route and the administrative capacity to follow the specified process. No particular accreditation, staffing level, technical standard or prior experience is stated in the available procurement details.
