Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has completed the procurement process titled "DHSC - GOps - Water and Wastewater Services" for the provision of water and wastewater services across its estate in the United Kingdom. The contracting process, identified under CPV code 65100000, falls under the services industry category. The procurement was conducted through a selective process as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £252,000, was awarded to WATER PLUS LIMITED on 23 March 2026, with the contract period set to start on 1 September 2026 and end on 31 August 2029. The tender process concluded on 5 November 2025.

This contract offers substantial opportunities for large-scale businesses specialising in water distribution and wastewater management services, as a significant demand for these services within the DHSC estate is highlighted. While the process did not focus on SME or VCSE eligibility, the scale of the contract indicates valuable potential for businesses capable of managing extensive service provision across England. Such contracts can be pivotal for firms looking to solidify or expand their presence in public sector contracts, especially those experienced in framework agreements. This completes another significant partnership between public institutions and service providers, setting a precedent for future procurement dynamics in this sector.
