Summary of the contracting process

East Ayrshire Council has completed the award stage for the contract titled "PS-25-175 - Provision of Water Hygiene Service, Testing & Maintenance MTC," which focuses on services related to water pollution in the Kilmarnock region (UKM93). The procurement process commenced through an open procedure, and the contract was signed on 6th January 2026 for a value of £390,772.10. Dalkia Operations Ltd emerged as the successful supplier after receiving five bids, with all submissions being electronic. The tender originally opened in 2025 under the premise of the General Public Services category and adhered to EU legal framework requirements for public contracts, including community benefits such as targeted recruitment and training. Key procurement criteria included quality and price, with a significant emphasis on financial standing and insurance requirements for bidders.

This contract presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in water hygiene services and those capable of executing both planned and reactive maintenance tasks on non-domestic water systems. With a requirement for bidders to be members of the Legionella Control Association, businesses that can demonstrate high-quality service delivery, competitive pricing, and compliance with stringent financial and insurance standards are well-positioned to succeed. Additionally, the focus on community benefits within the framework provides an attractive proposition for firms aiming to enhance their social impact through targeted recruitment, training programmes, SME development, and community engagement. The procurement opens avenues for businesses to establish a presence in the region and secure long-term work, given the potential renewal options for the contract's extension.
