Procurement Process:

To express an interest in participating in the tender, please contact Ross Bateman ([email protected]) through email by 17:00 (GMT) on 30th January 2024.

This will include the ITQ document that must be completed by all bidders and submitted on Ariba by 30th January 2024 at 5:00pm. All clarifications should be submitted on Ariba and can also be emailed to Ross Bateman ([email protected]) by 17:00 (GMT) on 23rd January 2024.

Yorkshire Water Services (YWS) will periodically consolidate clarifications that would be relevant to everyone and share the response to these with all bidders anonymously.

Following an assessment of responses received for the ITQ, successful suppliers will be invited to participate in the ITT. This is planned for January but is subject to change based on YWS discretion.
