## Summary

Yorkshire Water Services Limited is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process entitled "Capital Delivery Resourcing." This initiative is targeted towards enhancing the company's capital investment programme concerning construction, civil engineering, and water infrastructure assets. The procurement process seeks to establish a framework agreement for providing professional resources across various functions, primarily in the United Kingdom. With planning milestones already scheduled, suppliers are invited to engage in preliminary market engagement by 26th June 2026. The procurement falls under the services category, with the associated industry codes being business management consultancy and recruitment services, reflecting its alignment with Yorkshire Water's private utility operations. The framework is valued at £50 million, and the official contract is anticipated to commence on 1st October 2026, running through until 30th September 2034.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in professional resource provisioning, particularly those specialising in project management, commercial management, and project controls. It could be especially beneficial for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) that can provide scalable, flexible resources with expertise in construction, civil engineering, or utilities infrastructure. The tender's framework agreement allows for responsive supply of skilled professionals on an as-needed basis. Consequently, businesses with a strong track record in delivering scalable and adaptable project solutions, coupled with experience in regulated environments, are well-positioned to leverage this opportunity for substantial organisational growth and development.
