two.2.4) Description of the procurement
This procurement activity intends to award contracts for Ferric Sulphate on a dual supply basis for both packed and bulk products. The total estimated value varies from £140m to £250m over the 10 year period and delivery is required to circa 100 sites in total. The value range is due to the amount of dosing necessary to meet stringent new EU directives of phosphorous removal (WINEP)coming into play over the next few years as well as the treatment of raw water for drinking. There is a volume ramp up period between Q1 2023 and Q1 2025 when the annual requirements increase from 22,000 tons to 95,000 tons as Yorkshire Water Sites are commissioned.
