## Summary

Yorkshire Water Services Limited, located in Bradford, UK, has completed the procurement process for an "Integrated Platform for Networks" designed to optimise wastewater and water network operations. The procurement process, initiated as a tender, has reached the award stage, with the contract being awarded to Stormharvester Limited of Belfast, Northern Ireland. The industry categories involved include industrial control software, IT services, and sewage services, with the procurement method identified as a direct award due to the specialised nature of the integrated solution required. This direct award followed a rigorous market engagement process conducted between 11 and 25 September 2025, concluding with a contract signing milestone scheduled for 1 December 2025. The entire contract is valued at £9.6 million gross and will run initially for three years, with potential extensions up to five years.

This opportunity invites businesses that specialise in industrial control systems, IT services, and water management technologies to benefit from the expansive nature of a long-term contract with Yorkshire Water. Firms with proven experience in creating seamless, fully integrated platforms are particularly suited to support such contracts, as the required platform must interface with utility systems like SCADA, SAP, and GIS. SMEs and businesses with a successful history of working with water companies, especially within the UK context, will find growth potential in showcasing their technology's robustness, interoperability, and operational benefits. This engagement highlights the need for innovative tech solutions in utility management, presenting substantial growth avenues for relevant technology providers.

## Notice

YW seek an integrated platform as managing separate, disconnected systems for each functionality creates operational inefficiencies, increases the risk of data gaps, and complicates timely decision-making. Having all required capabilities within a single, unified solution ensures a holistic view of the network, seamless data flow between modules, and faster, more effective operational responses. The integrated platform must deliver all of the following functionalities within a single, unified solution (not as separate modules across different, disconnected systems): - Blockage Prediction: Identifies early signs of potential blockages within the wastewater network, based on abnormal patterns detected through flow or level data. This enables proactive maintenance to prevent incidents before customer impact or pollution occurs. - Network Spill Forecasting: Estimates the likelihood of network spills based on rainfall, capacity, and system behaviour. The goal is to trigger early operational interventions to avoid environmental non-compliance and reduce pollution events. - Pumping Station: Tracks pump activity across the network, identifying underperformance, abnormal operation, or potential failures. This helps improve operational visibility, reduce downtime, and support asset efficiency. - Customer Sewer Alarm (CSA): Provides alerting mechanisms in customer-facing parts of the network where issues such as blockages or overflows could lead to property flooding. It allows for early warnings before customers are affected using both digital and analog pressure data. - Burst Rising Main Detection: Assure accurate burst detection to prevent and reduce the impact of pollution from pressurised sewage mains; - Excess Water Detection: Detects excess water entering the wastewater network from sea, river, ground or misconnected rainwater, causing spills, damage and inefficiencies. The platform must be fully developed and commercially available. For clarity this means the product is not in early-stage development, not unproven, and not awaiting first deployment or first operational results. The solution must have already demonstrated successful outcomes with other water companies, preferably within the UK and particularly with other WASCs. The platform must be capable of integrating with core utility systems (e.g., SCADA, telemetry, SAP, GIS) and must meet minimum interoperability requirements to interpret data from devices and sensors currently deployed in our network.

### Planning Information

Yorkshire Water is undertaking a market engagement exercise in relation to the potential procurement of an integrated digital platform to support wastewater (and potentially water) network operations.
The market engagement will run from 11 September 2025 until 25 September 2025 at 17:00 (UK time).
Suppliers wishing to participate are invited to submit their expressions of interest and access further information by contacting Marta Jalles at marta.jalles@yorkshirewater.co.uk

### Procurement Information

Yorkshire Water conducted a market engagement exercise, for which a Market Engagement Notice (2025/S 000-055964) dated 11 September 2025 was published, to which 10 companies submitted responses. This market engagement exercise was carried out to understand whether there were suppliers capable of delivering a single, fully-integrated platform covering the six required functionalities/modules (blockage prediction, network spill forecasting, pumping station, customer sewer alarm, burst rising main detection and excess water detection). The solution needed to be commercially available, already deployed with proven outcomes in other water companies (particularly UK WASCs) and ready for immediate use rather than still in development or awaiting first implementation. This is as Yorkshire Water are prioritising mitigation of the risks in implementation and risks of poor outcomes. The engagement demonstrated that no supplier, other than the proposed contractor, was able to provide all required capabilities within one integrated platform with proven operational benefits. Other suppliers could only offer partial coverage, standalone modules, solutions still under development, or platforms without sufficient evidence of successful implementation in comparable UK networks. As a result, a competitive tendering process would not generate genuine competition. For these reasons, a direct award is justified a feasible route to securing the required integrated solution with proven performance, interoperability with our systems, and readiness for deployment.
