## Notice

Yorkshire Water is undertaking Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) to inform the development and procurement strategy for a future Regulatory Consultancy Framework. The proposed framework is intended to provide access to specialist economic, regulatory, financial, strategic, policy, market analysis, business planning, customer research and associated consultancy services to support Yorkshire Water's regulatory and business objectives. We are seeking input from suppliers with relevant expertise and experience in the water sector and wider regulated industries to help shape the scope, structure and delivery model of the framework. Through this engagement, Yorkshire Water aims to better understand current market capabilities, supplier capacity, emerging regulatory and industry trends, and innovative approaches to delivering high-quality consultancy services. Suppliers are invited to express an interest in participating in early market engagement discussions. Feedback gathered will be used to validate the proposed framework approach, inform lotting arrangements and contractual structures, assess the suitability of different commercial models, and support the development of the overall procurement strategy. This engagement is being conducted solely for information-gathering purposes and to support Yorkshire Water's planning activities. It does not constitute a call for competition, a formal procurement exercise, or any commitment by Yorkshire Water to procure goods or services. Participation in this engagement will not confer any advantage or disadvantage in any future procurement process
