Summary of the contracting process

This procurement covers water hygiene servicing and reactive maintenance for the University of Gloucestershire’s hot- and cold-water distribution systems. The work includes site attendance, planned maintenance, testing, servicing and repairs across water distribution systems installed in the university’s existing buildings and surrounding estate. Its purpose is to support the university in meeting its health and safety obligations for water-system maintenance. The requirement is classified as repair and maintenance services (CPV 50000000), although the main procurement category is works. Delivery is across the University of Gloucestershire estate in the South West of England. Westworks Procurement Limited acted as the buying organisation for this requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 23 July 2026 to Churchill Environmental Services. It used a selective procedure through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The awarded value is £45,251 including the stated GBP currency. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. Bids closed at 12:00 on 2 June 2026. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award covers the full water hygiene servicing, testing, maintenance and reactive repair requirement for the university estate, with one supplier selected.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the outcome shows a defined market for specialist water hygiene and maintenance support within a university estate. A credible competitor would need to provide planned servicing, water-system testing, reactive fault response and repairs across multiple existing buildings and associated external areas. It would also need to demonstrate the operational capacity for site attendance and ongoing maintenance, alongside a sound understanding of health and safety duties relating to hot- and cold-water distribution systems. The opportunity was considered suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that organisations of different sizes and social-enterprise structures can be relevant when they can deliver the required technical and responsive service.
