Sets up a framework (suppliers apply to join)

In plain English

Yorkshire Water is setting up a large consultancy framework to get expert advice on water company strategy, regulation, business transformation, and asset management over the next 3-10 years. They want to pre-qualify multiple consultancy firms across different specialisms so they can call on them as needed without running new tender processes each time.

What the buyer wants

• Provide strategic and business transformation consultancy including board-level advice, change programme design, and capability transfer • Deliver regulatory consultancy services covering Ofwat price reviews, financial economics, cost analysis, and performance commitment assessments • Supply asset management consultancy to support investment planning, data quality improvement, and best-practice embedding across the water company

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

This is a £38 million framework aimed at large consultancy firms. A solo consultant or small boutique firm will almost certainly be outcompeted unless they are a highly specialist sub-contractor partnering with a larger consultancy; most small businesses simply lack the scale, regulatory experience, and multi-disciplinary teams needed to win.

How to bid

This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
