## Summary

Yorkshire Water Services Limited, headquartered in Bradford, UK, is currently in the planning stage for a new procurement process aimed at establishing a Marketing Services Framework. This initiative falls under the services category, specifically marketing services, with the procurement being above the threshold and intended to establish a framework agreement. The preliminary market engagement phase, which invites expressions of interest from suppliers, is scheduled to close on 6th August 2026. The future framework is expected to cover specialist marketing, communications, brand, digital, media, customer engagement, and other related services for the organisation. Suppliers are encouraged to contribute their expertise to help shape this significant opportunity, with further notices anticipated by 15th November 2026.

This procurement creates substantial growth prospects for businesses specialising in marketing and communications. Companies with a robust track record in innovative service delivery and capability to support large-scale utilities could find this tender an excellent opportunity for expansion. Given the breadth of services required, businesses providing niche marketing solutions or comprehensive marketing strategies will be well-suited to compete. Engaging in this process not only offers the chance to influence the framework’s design but also allows businesses to position themselves as potential key partners for Yorkshire Water’s marketing endeavours, which could lead to significant contractual opportunities once the formal procurement phase begins.

## Notice

Yorkshire Water is undertaking Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) to inform the development and procurement strategy for a future Marketing Services Framework. The proposed framework is intended to provide access to specialist marketing, communications, brand, digital, media, customer engagement and related marketing support services across the organisation. We are seeking input from suppliers with relevant experience and capabilities to help shape the scope, structure and delivery model of the framework. Through this engagement, Yorkshire Water aims to understand current market capability, assess supplier capacity, explore innovative approaches to service delivery and ensure the framework is designed to meet future business requirements. Suppliers are invited to express an interest in participating in early market discussions. Feedback gathered will be used to validate the proposed framework approach, inform lotting and contracting considerations, and support the development of the procurement strategy. This engagement is for information-gathering purposes only and does not constitute a call for competition, a formal procurement exercise, or any commitment by Yorkshire Water to procure goods or services.

### Planning Information

Suppliers are invited to express interest via email to professionalservicetenders@yorkshirewater.co.uk with brief details of their service offering. Further engagement (e.g., RFI or supplier calls) may follow.
There are no specific conditions for participation in this market engagement. Participation is voluntary and non-binding.
