UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office is actively seeking a qualified service provider for a Water Hygiene Risk Assessment (WHRA) at the British Embassy in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. This project, with an industry classification in risk or hazard assessment, is especially focused on evaluating and improving water systems. The procurement process is in the tender update stage, originally initiated for bid on 8 August 2025, with an amended submission deadline set for 5 September 2025. Interested parties need to finalise their enquiries by 4 September 2025. The contract, valued at £87,000, will run from 1 October 2025 to 31 October 2025, under an open procurement method. This below-threshold competition is part of central government public authority initiatives.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in water hygiene and risk assessment. Companies with experience in performing comprehensive evaluations of water systems and expertise in Legionella risk assessments may find this contract particularly appealing. The requirement for a detailed management procedure audit and schematic documentation aligns well with businesses that offer in-depth water system diagnostics and monitoring solutions. Given the project's open competition status, it encourages participation from small and medium-sized enterprises looking to broaden their portfolio in international contexts, such as services for diplomatic facilities in Ethiopia.
