## Summary

Severn Trent Water Limited is seeking suppliers of soya beans, classified under CPV 03111100. The requirement is for goods and is structured as a single lot. The published description says the procurement is a production test to check that a test supplier can access a Discovery Posting, and the procedure features also refer to testing the connection to the CDP. The work is associated with Severn Trent Water Limited, based in Coventry, although no separate delivery location is stated. This is therefore a highly specific opportunity for businesses able to supply soya beans and willing to participate in a procurement that has a stated testing purpose rather than a conventional operational description.

The process has reached tender: Severn Trent Water Limited invited offers through an open procedure using a competitive flexible procedure. The procedure is accelerated under the utilities rules. Questions were due by 28 August 2026 at 09:00 UTC, and offers were due by 1 September 2026 at 09:00 UTC. The contract period is 1 March 2028 to 28 February 2030. The estimated contract value is £1,000,000 including tax. Evaluation is based on price weighted at 55% and quality at 45%. It will establish a closed framework with up to eight participants, with contracts awarded through reopening competition. Bids must be submitted in English and electronic submission is not allowed. The award decision was due by 16 September 2026 at 23:59:59 UTC.

This opportunity suits a supplier with an established ability to provide soya beans and to respond to both price and quality requirements. Businesses should be prepared for a framework arrangement in which further opportunities are competed among appointed participants, rather than relying on a single immediate order. The framework can include up to eight suppliers, so relevant experience in supplying the product consistently and competing in repeat call-offs would be useful. The published material does not set out specific accreditations, staffing qualifications, technical standards or minimum turnover requirements. The testing purpose means suppliers should also be comfortable with the buyer’s procurement and connection-testing arrangements, including the stated non-electronic bid submission process.
