Yorkshire Water has gone out to tender with an AMP8 contract for light commercial vehicle fleet replacement - estimated total value is up to £60 million.
The water company is seeking expressions of interest for establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the replacement of Yorkshire Water's current fleet of light commercial vehicles (LCVs) during AMP8 (2025-2030).
The framework agreement is intended to be the primary route for selecting bidders to replace selected LCVs over the agreement's duration.
Unlike traditional frameworks, a DPS remains open for suppliers to join at any time, provided they meet the specified criteria. Suppliers admitted to the DPS can then participate in "mini-competitions" or "call-offs" to bid on specific projects or requirements as they arise throughout the agreement's duration.
Successful bidders will work with Yorkshire Water to replace existing LCVs, which are divided into various lots reflecting each vehicle category (small, medium, large, pick up - all under 3.5 tonnes gross vehicle weight).
The water company said the initiative is key to meeting its 2030 sustainability target of zero-carbon emissions. The utility will prioritise the replacement of diesel LCVs with low- or zero-emission LCVs, whether electric or utilising other sustainable energy sources as they develop and mature within the market.
The procurement is seeking to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System with an initial five-year term, with the possibility of extending for up to an additional two years (5 + 2), with an estimated total value of £60,000,000.
