Yorkshire Water Services Limited · Private utility

In brief

It is a framework worth up to £14,250,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 4 years, up to 9 years with extensions, starting 1 February 2027.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 6 bids per contract for construction contracts across the UK (from 1973 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £14,250,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.
