Summary of the contracting process

Yorkshire Water Services is seeking suppliers to maintain and support pile cloth filters at its wastewater operational sites across Yorkshire. The work covers planned servicing and cleaning or replacement of filter cloths, reactive troubleshooting and repairs, inspection and support, supply of spares such as chains and sprockets, and temporary equipment hire. The lots cover Mita, FLI Water and Mecana filter equipment, with separate planned and reactive maintenance for Mecana, as well as temporary filter hire. Hire services include specifying, designing and installing units and maintaining them while hired. This is a water and wastewater equipment maintenance and support requirement, with related equipment supply and hire. Suppliers may be appointed for one or several parts of the requirement.

Yorkshire Water invited offers through a competitive flexible procedure, with a participation questionnaire and tender, followed by a second tender round and potentially a final best-and-final-offer stage. The tender set an enquiry deadline of 4 November 2026 at 17:00 UTC and a submission deadline of 11 November 2026 at 17:00 UTC; the stated award decision date was 23 March 2027. Contracts were planned to start on 1 April 2027 and run to 31 March 2030, with an optional renewal of up to 48 months. The stated overall value is £4.5 million gross. Separate lot estimates are £2 million for Mita maintenance and spares, £400,000 for FLI maintenance and spares, £3.2 million for Mecana planned maintenance, £400,000 for Mecana reactive maintenance, and £2 million for temporary hire. Each lot is evaluated equally on quality and cost.

The opportunity suits suppliers with practical experience servicing pile cloth filters and supporting wastewater operations. Relevant capabilities include planned maintenance, filter cloth cleaning and replacement, asset inspection, fault diagnosis, responsive repairs, and the supply and management of compatible OEM or other specified spares, including chains and sprockets. The equipment-specific lots create scope for specialists in Mita, FLI Water or Mecana systems, while the hire lot fits suppliers able to specify, design, install and maintain temporary filter units. The arrangement calls for operational responsiveness, equipment availability and suitable geographical coverage across Yorkshire Water sites. Suppliers able to provide a broad, full-service offer may suit several lots; equipment or maintenance specialists can pursue the part matching their expertise. Call-offs are based on operational fit and overall value, including capability, availability, responsiveness, coverage and price.
