Yorkshire Water is conducting a Tender Notice to inform the development of a procurement strategy for specialist ozone maintenance and minor capital works across its ozone process-plant estate. The proposed framework will support end-to-end planned and reactive maintenance, technical support, emergency response and minor capital works associated with ozone-generation systems and related assets. This will include asset inspections, condition and performance assessments, fault diagnosis, breakdown repair, critical-spares management, obsolescence management, equipment replacement, refurbishment, upgrades and remediation. The scope may also include mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, control and automation works, testing, commissioning, performance validation, warranty support and the provision of maintenance documentation, asset data and operating guidance. Major design-and-build capital schemes are excluded from the framework and will be delivered through Yorkshire Water's Tier 1 suppliers. Suppliers with relevant experience and capability are invited to express interest and participate in the CoP.

Renewal: The contract may be extended subject to performance, regulatory requirements, and business need.

The framework will operate on a single-supplier basis, with Yorkshire Water awarding call-off contracts or work orders for planned and reactive maintenance, technical support, emergency response and minor capital works in accordance with the procedures set out in the Framework Agreement. Prices for call-offs will be determined using the pricing schedules established at tender, with the ability to confirm or adjust pricing where permitted by the call-off process and the terms of the Framework Agreement. Yorkshire Water will allocate work to the appointed supplier in accordance with the agreed framework procedures, requirements and priorities. The framework will provide flexibility to respond to planned maintenance programmes, reactive incidents, emergency requirements and minor capital works across Yorkshire Water's ozone estate. The operation of the framework will be governed by the terms of the Framework Agreement and the procedures communicated during the procurement process. Yorkshire Water will apply these requirements consistently to support transparency, fairness and proportionality in the allocation and delivery of work.
