Description
This procurement aims to establish a contract arrangement for the provision, storage, and replenishment of 300 pallets of bottled water. The objective is to meet the requirements of the Security and Emergency Measures Direction (SEMD 2024).
The 300 pallets will form part of the overall solution to enable Yorkshire Water to deliver its strategy of providing alternative water supplies to 1.5% of customers by the end of AMP8.
The scope of the opportunity covers the stockholding and supply of bottled water at a central location within the Yorkshire region. It also requires the timely replenishment of consumed pallets in accordance with defined Service Level Agreements.

The contract will initially run for five years. Yorkshire Water may extend the contract for one further year (5+1), subject to performance and operational need.
The estimated total contract value, excluding VAT, is £966,000. This equates to approximately £193,000 per annum.
