Yorkshire Water has gone out to tender with an AMP7/8 contract for the supply of water-treatment chemicals - Ferric Sulphate worth up to an estimated £250 million in total.
The contract covers the supply of bulk and packed Ferric Sulphate for water and wastewater treatment for a period of 10 years.
The contract is being tendered in two separate Lots - splitting the Yorkshire demand into two geographical areas, with a rough 80/20 split by region.
The water company intends to award contracts for Ferric Sulphate on a dual supply basis for both packed and bulk products. Total estimated value varies from £140 million to £250 million over the 10 year period and delivery is required to circa 100 sites in total. The value range is due to the amount of dosing necessary to meet stringent new EU directives of phosphorous removal (WINEP)coming into play over the next few years as well as the treatment of raw water for drinking.
There is a volume ramp up period between Q1 2023 and Q1 2025 when the annual requirements increase from 22,000 tons to 95,000 tons as Yorkshire Water sites are commissioned.
Time limit for receipt of tenders or requests to participate is 26 February 2022 – click here to access the tender documentation.
