The requirement is for operational use across England, covering sites in the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. Propane gas is the main goods category (CPV 09122100). Severn Trent Green Power Limited has similar operational needs and plans to coordinate its market engagement and tender exercise with Severn Trent Water. Its requirements will be identified separately. The procurement is being led by Severn Trent Water Limited as a private utility, with the requirement subject to the utilities regime. This procurement is at the planning stage: Severn Trent Water expects to run a competitive regulated procurement and establish a closed framework arrangement. The buyer is carrying out optional pre-market engagement; responses will not contribute to the procurement process. Interested suppliers are invited to respond by 28 August 2026, and the buyer expects the future tender notice to be published by 4 September 2026. The planned framework has one requirement covering the full scope, with a contract period expected to run from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2031. Renewal is planned, with the arrangement capable of extending to 31 December 2036. The buyer has not set out a procurement value. The requirement is likely to suit suppliers that can provide reliable bulk propane supply across a broad England-wide operational estate, together with delivery, storage-tank infrastructure, tank maintenance and related support. Businesses will need suitable logistics, storage and field-service capability, with the capacity to maintain continuity of supply at multiple utility and green-power sites. Relevant experience in handling and delivering propane safely, maintaining associated equipment and meeting applicable energy, transport, environmental and workplace-safety obligations will be important to prepare. The buyer has indicated that small and medium-sized enterprises are suitable for the requirement. Suppliers with complementary capabilities may therefore consider forming delivery, infrastructure or maintenance partnerships before the tender reaches the market. ## Notice Severn Trent Water Limited (STW) intends to undertake a competitive regulated procurement for its propane supply, delivery, tank infrastructure, maintenance and associated services. The procurement is expected to establish a closed framework arrangement. Severn Trent Green Power Limited (STGP) has similar operational requirements and intends to coordinate its market engagement and tender exercise alongside STW's. STGP's requirements will be clearly identified as separate. ### Planning Information We are keen to engage with interested suppliers.
