The procurement involves the acquisition of goods related to machinery for sewage treatment, specifically focusing on the project 'Net Zero Site - Cellulose Recovery.' The company aims to transform one of its wastewater treatment works into a carbon-neutral facility by March 2024. The key dates for this process include the launch of the Prior Information Notice on 8th December 2022 and the deadline for suppliers to submit interest by 3rd January 2023. This procurement process presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in circular economy technologies and sewage treatment equipment. Companies capable of developing technology to recover cellulose from sewage for reuse, with a Technology Readiness Level of 7 or higher, can participate. Successful suppliers must have solutions ready for installation and operation at the site by the end of March 2024. Collaborating with Severn Trent in this initiative could lead to future procurement exercises, although participation in this notice does not guarantee a contractual relationship. ## Notice 1. Introduction & Background 1.1 Severn Trent Water Company Profile Severn Trent Water Ltd (Severn Trent) serves over eight million people in the heart of the UK, supplying nearly two billion litres of drinking water a day to the highest standards in Europe.
