Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Exeter City Council procured combined water-system risk assessment and water-hygiene monitoring services, including Legionella testing, across multiple Council sites. The work covers technical testing and analysis, monitoring and control, and related health-and-safety services. Delivery is across sites in the South West. The requirement sits within the Council’s water-safety management, addressing assessment of water systems and ongoing hygiene monitoring. The procurement was for services rather than goods or construction works, with the combined scope bringing assessment, monitoring and testing into one service.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Rock Compliance Ltd on 18 May 2023. Exeter City Council used a restricted procedure as a further competition under an existing framework. The tender deadline was 31 March 2023 at 5pm. The awarded value was £498,841.24. The contract period runs from 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2027. The opportunity was presented as one combined-service lot covering water-system risk assessment and water-hygiene monitoring. The data records the award as active; the contract period is the period stated for the awarded service.

For suppliers of water-hygiene and Legionella services, this award demonstrates demand from Exeter City Council for a joined-up service covering risk assessments, monitoring and testing across multiple public-sector sites. A credible competitor would need the technical capability to assess water systems, carry out Legionella testing and provide ongoing hygiene monitoring, with the operational capacity to coordinate work across a multi-site estate. The selected supplier was a large business, while the procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller firms could be relevant if they can demonstrate sufficient technical competence and delivery capacity. Experience in public-sector service delivery and the ability to manage a combined assessment and monitoring requirement would be relevant strengths for competing for this buyer’s comparable requirement in future.
