Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "CPG121272025 Provision of WHRA & Water Bacteriological Testing for the British Residences in Washington DC" was initiated by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, a central government public authority in the United Kingdom, located at King Charles Street, London. The contract involved the provision of water hazard risk assessments and water bacteriological testing services, classified under surface water treatment services. The procurement was conducted through an open method below the threshold level, inviting competition within a framework of open tenders. Initial stages included an active tender status with the tender period closing on 31st October 2025. However, the award decision was later cancelled on 26th November 2025, as the procurement approach was under review.

This tender, although cancelled, initially presented business growth opportunities for service providers specialising in water treatment and risk assessment, particularly those adept at conducting water bacteriological sampling and testing. Companies with expertise in implementing technical water treatment solutions and those capable of meeting the assessed risk needs would have been well-positioned to bid. The technical and commercial award criteria were weighted at 70% and 30% respectively, providing potential contractors room to highlight their technical capabilities and competitive commercial offers. Future opportunities could arise as the authority reassesses procurement approaches, presenting similar opportunities for businesses in this sector.
