Summary of the contracting process

Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council has awarded a contract for water hygiene services under tender reference SMBC 24029. The contract is divided into two lots: one for Risk Assessment, Consultancy Services and Training, and the other for Monitoring and Remedial Works. The procurement process has reached the award stage, with contracts signed on 27 March 2025. The services pertain to the technical testing, analysis, and consultancy within the industry category of services. The entire contract, spanning from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2029, has an option to extend until 31 March 2030. The successful companies are Hydrop E.C.S. Limited for Lot 1 and HSL Compliance Limited for Lot 2, both being small and medium enterprises (SMEs) based in the United Kingdom.

This tender offers significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialized in technical consulting and compliance services. Businesses involved in water hygiene, risk assessment, and remedial works in the public services sector would be well-positioned to benefit. The delineation into two lots means that companies with strong expertise in either consultancy or practical monitoring and repairs can target their strengths without needing to cover both aspects. The contract's value and the emphasis on quality and price in the selection criteria highlight the opportunity for specialist firms to showcase their capabilities and secure steady revenue over multiple years, including the extension option.
