The water company has issued a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) notice on behalf of itself and sister company Hafren Dyfrdwy Cyfyngedig inviting engagement from suppliers who may be interested in submitting a tender response for a closed framework agreement covering the following:
- Access to Quarries and Supply of Materials: supply for construction materials and aggregates.
- Recycling Centres: Access to recycling centres for tipping of construction waste (either direct tipping or waste collection).
- Landfill Sites: Access to landfill sites (all types) for tipping of construction waste (either direct tipping or waste collection).
The requirements will initially be to support Severn Trent's AMP 8 period and Mains Renewal programme - however, there may also be wider opportunities within the organisation in the future.

Estimated publication date of a formal tender notice is 9 June 2025, while estimated contract dates are 1 November 2025 to 30 October 2026 with a possible further extension option to 30 October 2030.
