Severn Trent Water is conducting a market engagement exercise to explore interest and capabilities for providing temporary treatment solutions, including the hire of treatment assets and related services, to potentially develop a framework agreement for water and wastewater treatment sites.
Severn Trent Water (STW) is undertaking a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) exercise to better understand the capabilities, capacity, and level of interest within the market for the provision of Temporary Treatment Solutions. This is expected to include the hire of treatment assets and associated ancillary equipment, and may include related services such as mobilisation, installation, operation, maintenance, and decommissioning. STW is exploring the potential development of a framework agreement for these services. The framework is expected to support short, medium, and long-term hire requirements across both planned activities and reactive/emergency responses at water and wastewater treatment sites across the Severn Trent region. The proposed framework may be structured into multiple lots and is likely to include multiple suppliers per lot. The indicative lot structure is as follows: 1. Lot 1 - Dewatering assets 2. Lot 2 - Chemical dosing assets 3. Lot 3 - Process treatment assets (e.g. filtration, clarification, temporary treatment units) 4. Lot 4 - Aeration and blower equipment 5. Lot 5 - Screening and grit removal equipment Please note that this lot structure is indicative only and subject to change following market engagement.
This Preliminary Market Engagement is for information gathering purposes only and does not constitute a commitment to undertake a procurement process. Participation in this exercise is entirely optional and will not be taken into account in any future procurement evaluation process. Information gathered through this exercise will be used to inform STW's understanding of the market and to support the development of a potential future procurement approach and specification. STW reserves the right to contact respondents to seek clarification or further information in relation to their responses and may invite selected suppliers to participate in follow-up discussions. Organisations interested in participating are invited to complete the questionnaire available at the link below: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=mR5c4eN7XEmXjuynuOqfMVP3v4FPMEFOlA-ccYj5oeBUQk43WEpFOEs4UENGWU83QkVDUFhOTzlSTS4u The initial market engagement period will run until 3rd July 2026. However, early responses are encouraged. STW reserves the right to amend or withdraw this exercise at any time. The estimated contract dates are indicative only and may change when the tender notice will be released.
