UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Severn Trent Water Limited sought offers for the supply of soya beans, classified as goods. The procurement description says this was a test of its connection between SAP Ariba and the CDP, and that bidding was not expected. The requirement is therefore a system integration test rather than a clearly described commercial supply opportunity. The contracting process identifies one lot for the goods. No delivery location is identified, so the scope cannot be tied to a particular place. Suppliers assessing relevance should note the explicit test-only purpose: despite the invitation to tender, the stated objective was to check the integration, not to procure goods through competitive bidding.

The buyer invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure, and the process reached tender. The procurement description states that this was a test and that bidding was not expected. The expression-of-interest deadline was 23 October 2026 at 09:30 UTC; the award decision was due by 10 November 2026. The contract period was set from 18 November to 17 December 2026. The single lot had a stated gross value of £100. The published award criterion was quality, weighted at 100%. Electronic submission was permitted, with English specified for submissions. The procedure was marked accelerated on grounds of urgency. The record provides no eligibility criteria beyond these details.

This is not a substantive supply opportunity for a soya-bean producer or distributor: the buyer explicitly describes it as a test, says bidding is not expected, and identifies the objective as checking integration between SAP Ariba and the CDP. The requirement may be relevant to suppliers with experience of procurement-platform integration, particularly work involving SAP Ariba and CDP, rather than businesses focused on agricultural goods. However, the stated item is soya beans, and the process does not describe technical integration deliverables, required accreditations, staffing, capacity or prior experience. The sole stated evaluation basis is quality. Suppliers should therefore distinguish the test purpose from the listed goods and assess whether the notice aligns with their integration capability before investing effort.
