Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust procured water distribution, wastewater and ancillary services for itself and Simply Serve Ltd, its associated service organisation. The requirement covers the supply and management of water and wastewater services, together with related ancillary provision, for NHS operations. Delivery is centred on Taunton and the South West of England. The procurement is classified as water distribution and related services (CPV 65100000) and falls within the services category. It was arranged through the RM6306 Water, Wastewater and Ancillary Services framework, Lot 3, described as a one-stop-shop arrangement. The buying organisation is Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, based in Taunton. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This procurement has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Water Plus Limited was selected on 8 September 2026 for an awarded value of £5,302,060. The awarded contract runs from 28 September 2026 to 27 September 2029. The original procurement had an estimated value of £3,976,545, with submissions due by 31 August 2026. Evaluation was carried out through the framework call-off process for the specified water, wastewater and ancillary services requirement. The tender itself is complete and the award is active. The awarded contract covers the same three-year service period for Somerset NHS Foundation Trust and Simply Serve Ltd.

This outcome shows demand for an integrated water, wastewater and ancillary-services provider supporting an NHS foundation trust and a connected service organisation. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need operational capability across water distribution and wastewater services, as well as the ability to coordinate ancillary services through a one-stop-shop model. Experience of delivering dependable utility services for public-sector or healthcare estates would help demonstrate suitability, alongside the systems and capacity to manage a multi-year service arrangement. Suppliers should also be able to compete through the relevant framework route or secure the necessary framework position. The buyer has identified the requirement as suitable for SMEs, so specialist or growing providers may have a realistic route to participate.
