Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hillingdon is planning to procure a Water Quality Services Contract. Currently at the planning stage, this tender involves a Pre-Market Engagement exercise aimed at appointing a service provider to ensure compliance with industry and safety standards for water risk assessments, monitoring, microbiological sampling, and testing. The services will cover the housing stock and corporate sites managed by the council. Interested parties are encouraged to engage by contacting mbreen@hillingdon.gov.uk, with the engagement concluding on 18th June 2025. The contract is scheduled to run for four years from December 2025, with the potential to extend for an additional three years.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in technical inspection and testing services to expand their operations and secure long-term projects. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in water quality services, risk assessments, and monitoring will find this opportunity particularly lucrative, given the substantial contract value of £1,900,000. The procurement method and pre-market engagement pave the way for interested service providers to demonstrate their capabilities and propose innovative solutions, aligning with the council's regulatory requirements and standards. Engaging in this contract could enhance the visibility and credibility of businesses ready to compete in the public procurement arena.
