Summary of the contracting process

The University of Strathclyde, located in Glasgow, has completed a contracting process for the provision of tank sampling, legionella risk assessments, and associated services covering the period of 2025-2029. Operating under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, this service contract was assigned to Westfield Caledonian Ltd. The procurement followed a selective restricted procedure with awards based on technical and price criteria, valuing technical quality at 20% and price at 80%. The contract, valued at £286,785, commenced with signing on 17th February 2026 and allows for modifications without a new procurement procedure, which is a provision under regulation 72. The primary category for this procurement falls under 'Risk or hazard assessment other than for construction,' with a focus on services related to water pollution, consulting for water supply, and water-treatment works.

This contract presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for SMEs specialising in water treatment, risk assessment, and consulting services within the industry. Firms with expertise in microbiological and chemical analysis, particularly those meeting British Standards 8554:2015, are suited to compete in such tenders. The awarded supplier is expected to deliver fast, reactive services and provide technical assistance on water engineering issues, enhancing service offerings with swift analytical turnaround and competence in legislative compliance. With plans of future procurement slated around June 2029, related businesses can prepare to tap into similar opportunities as this contract approaches its term end.
