Technical Services and Assurance Framework

Description

Yorkshire Water intends to establish a multi-supplier Framework Agreement for the provision of technical consultancy, engineering design, technical assurance, and specialist support services required to deliver its AMP8 investment programme (2025-2030). The framework will provide a single commercial route to access a broad range of technical capabilities, supporting Yorkshire Water's Engineering, Asset Management and Commercial functions. It will replace existing Technical Services and Technical Assurance frameworks and ensure continuity, resilience and flexibility in securing specialist expertise. The framework will include multiple Lots reflecting different categories of technical need, including project-level engineering support, independent technical assurance, complex multi-disciplinary design services, and strategic design capability development. Further detail on each Lot is provided in later sections of this notice and in the procurement documents.
