The aim is to acquire a modern, commercially supported solution to manage biosolids recycling efficiently. This tender falls under the services category, targeting industry-specific software packages and software-related services. The process involves a two-stage procurement method, which includes Conditions of Participation followed by an Invitation to Tender. Key dates include an expression of interest deadline on 28 August 2026 and an enquiry period ending on 18 August 2026. The contract is intended to commence on 1 April 2027 and last until 31 March 2030, with potential extensions up to 2032. The procurement process involves a budget of £750,000 with a gross amount valued at £900,000, and it is above the threshold for utilities in the UK regions of UKD, UKE, and UKG. This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in software development and service provision. Businesses that offer off-the-shelf or commercially supported software solutions, particularly those capable of being tailored to client specifications with minimal bespoke development, stand well-suited to compete. The focus on technical quality, which forms 60% of the assessment criteria, underscores the importance of capability and innovation in submissions. Companies experienced in e-procurement platforms, such as SAP Ariba, which is specified for submission in this tender, will have an added advantage. The contract’s scope, including initial provision, integration, and ongoing support, offers continued business engagement and potential growth in the utility sector. ## Notice The objective of this Procurement Process is to procure a modern, commercially supported biosolids recycling management solution for Yorkshire Water.

The Contract Opportunity is expected to cover the provision, implementation, configuration, integration, data migration, training, support and ongoing maintenance of a biosolids management solution. Yorkshire Water is seeking an off-the-shelf or commercially supported solution which can be configured to Yorkshire Water's requirements with limited bespoke development, rather than a fully bespoke build.
