This is a water and wastewater equipment maintenance and support requirement, with related equipment supply and hire. Suppliers may be appointed for one or several parts of the requirement. Yorkshire Water invited offers through a competitive flexible procedure, with a participation questionnaire and tender, followed by a second tender round and potentially a final best-and-final-offer stage.
