Published 13 Oct 2026
13 Oct 2026


Reference: CM3576
Yorkshire Water intends to establish a multi-supplier Framework Agreement for the provision of specialist high-voltage (HV) electrical design, protection studies, design and build, maintenance and inspection, together with air circuit breaker (ACB) replacement and maintenance services. The Framework Agreement will provide a resilient and competitive route to qualified suppliers for safety-critical activities supporting Yorkshire Water's statutory, regulatory and health and safety obligations. The Framework Agreement will introduce a dedicated route for ACB replacement and maintenance activity. It will support planned, urgent, reactive and complex works through lot-specific call-off arrangements. Suppliers may tender for one or more Lots, subject to meeting the relevant Conditions of Participation and requirements set out in the procurement documents. The scope is divided into the following four Lots: - Lot 1: HV Design, Build and Protection Studies - Lot 2: HV Maintenance and Inspection - Lot 3: ACB Replacement and Associated Works - Lot 4: ACB Maintenance and Inspection

Framework details
The Framework Agreement will operate on a multi-supplier basis. Yorkshire Water will award call-off contracts in accordance with the Framework Agreement and the procedure applicable to the relevant Lot and requirement. Call-offs may be awarded by direct award, capability-based rotation or further competition, including mini-competition, depending on the nature, value, urgency and complexity of the requirement. Lot 1 and Lot 3 are expected to use mini-competitions for larger or complex projects, with direct award or capability-based allocation where permitted for standard or urgent works. Lot 2 and Lot 4 are expected to use planned maintenance schedules and price books, direct award for urgent or reactive works, and mini-competition for larger remedial packages. The detailed call-off mechanisms will be set out in the Framework Agreement and procurement documents.
Submission method
Suppliers that expressed interest through the UK2 Preliminary Market Engagement notice and provided the required contact details have been invited directly to the Conditions of Participation event on the Yorkshire Water SAP Ariba Network. Other suppliers wishing to participate must first express their interest by emailing Laura.Dehaese@yorkshirewater.co.uk. The following instructions apply: - Suppliers already registered on the Yorkshire Water SAP Ariba Network should confirm by email that they are registered and state their interest in the opportunity. - Suppliers not yet registered on the Yorkshire Water SAP Ariba Network should provide their full company name and the name and email address of the person or account they would like Yorkshire Water to invite.
