## Summary

Yorkshire Water Services Limited is procuring floating pontoon hire services through a two-lot framework. Suppliers will provide modular floating platforms that give safe access for work on or near water, including delivery, installation, anchoring and de-mobilisation. The scope includes temporary handrails, edge protection, anti-slip decking, rescue equipment, transport logistics, specialist layout design and buoyancy calculations. The services will support construction, inspections, vegetation removal, repairs and maintenance, and water sampling. Lot 1 covers clean-water environments and Lot 2 covers wastewater environments. Work is required across the United Kingdom. The requirement is classified as services and includes floating docks, marine installations, jetties, floating-dock construction and equipment installation. Both lots are identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The process has reached tender: Yorkshire Water invited offers through a selective Competitive Flexible Procedure. Suppliers first complete a Conditions of Participation Questionnaire; only those meeting the participation requirements have their tenders evaluated. A second tender round, and potentially a final Best and Final Offer round, may follow. Expressions of interest are due by 7 October 2026 at 23:59. Enquiries close on 16 September 2026 at 23:59, and the award decision is due by 15 January 2027 at 23:59. The framework has up to three participants, with pricing requested project by project and competitions reopened where required. Lot 1 is worth up to £1.92 million gross (£1.6 million excluding VAT); Lot 2 up to £2.88 million gross (£2.4 million excluding VAT). Each lot runs from 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2032, with possible extension to 31 January 2035. Evaluation is 60% commercial assessment and 40% quality and capability assessment.

This opportunity suits suppliers that hire, transport, design, install, anchor and remove modular floating platforms for operational work on or near water. Relevant capability includes providing safe temporary access in both clean-water and wastewater environments, supplying associated protection and rescue equipment, and producing project-specific layouts and buoyancy calculations. Firms should be able to manage full logistics and respond to varying project scopes, including construction, inspection, vegetation clearance, repair and maintenance, and water sampling activities. The framework’s project-by-project pricing model favours operators able to assess availability and mobilise suitable equipment for individual assignments. It is explicitly suitable for SMEs, and may suit specialist pontoon, floating-dock, marine installation or equipment-installation businesses with sufficient UK-wide delivery capacity.
