## Summary

Yorkshire Water Services Limited is initiating a procurement process to establish a Security Framework for various services including Electronic Security, Physical Security, Fencing & Gates, and Manned & Dog Guarding. The industry category falls under investigation and security services. The framework agreement aims to standardise security service delivery across Yorkshire Water's operations, situated in the UK region UKE. Interested suppliers must express their interest by 1st November 2024, with the formal Invitation to Qualify (ITQ) document due on the same date. Clarification requests can be submitted until 16th October 2024. This tender, currently in the active tender stage, is anticipated to progress to the Invitation to Tender (ITT) phase by late November 2024. The initial contract duration is 36 months, with optional renewals extending the term up to a total of 96 months based on performance and at the discretion of Yorkshire Water Services.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in the design, installation, and maintenance of advanced security systems, as well as providers of physical barriers and manned guarding services. With a substantial estimated value of GBP 24 million, the framework is a strategic avenue for vendors to secure long-term contracts and establish a foothold in the public security sector. Each service type or 'lot' has specific requirements and stringent service standards, making this opportunity ideal for well-established security firms with expertise in electronic surveillance, physical security solutions, and professional guarding services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) capable of delivering high-quality services in at least one category are encouraged to participate.

## Notice

This notice is seeking expressions of interest for the establishment of a Framework Agreement for Security related to: Electronic Security, Physical Security, Fencing & Gates and Manned & Dog Guarding. For the avoidance of doubt, suppliers DO NOT need to deliver services in all Lots to submit a response to this tender. Suppliers need to deliver services in at least 1 lot to respond to the tender. This framework agreement is envisaged to be the primary route for selecting suppliers for the delivery of the selected Security services for the duration of the agreement. Any estimated quantities or values contained or referred to in this or other documentation are for guidance only and do not bind YWS to buy any specific quantities should the bidder be successful and enter into an Agreement. Procurement Process: To express an interest in participating in the tender, please contact Judy Chen (judy.chen@yorkshirewater.co.uk) through email by 17:00 (GMT) on 1st November 2024. Once a bidder expresses an interest, the Invitation to Qualify (ITQ) document pack will be shared with them. This will include the ITQ document that must be completed by all bidders and submitted on Ariba by 1st November 2024. All clarifications should also be submitted on Ariba and can also be emailed to Judy Chen (judy.chen@yorkshirewater.co.uk) by 17:00 (GMT) on 16th October 2024. YWS will periodically consolidate clarifications that would be relevant to everyone and share the response to these with all bidders anonymously. Following an assessment of responses received for the ITQ, successful suppliers will be invited to participate in the ITT. This is planned for late November but is subject to change based on YWS discretion.
