Summary of the contracting process

The Guinness Partnership bought two national water-safety work packages for its properties across England. One covers Legionella risk assessments, including maintaining assessments and providing an online portal for access. The other covers water-safety monitoring under a written scheme, updating logbooks and carrying out remedial work identified through assessments and monitoring; it also includes an online portal for water-temperature records and remedial-work progress. These are separate requirements: the assessment work informs the monitoring and remedial activity, which is carried out against the relevant written scheme. The buyer is The Guinness Partnership Limited. Delivery spans the North East, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West.

The procurement is complete and both contracts have been awarded and signed. Churchill Contract Services Limited won the Legionella risk-assessment lot for £840,000; its contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2031, with two possible annual extensions. Sureserve Compliance Water Limited won the monitoring and remedial works lot for £2,800,000; its contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2031, also with two possible annual extensions. Both awards were made on 7 May 2026 through an open procedure. Each lot was assessed on quality, weighted at 60%, and price, weighted at 40%. Bidders could tender for both lots but could win only one; if one bidder ranked highest on both, the monitoring and remedial works lot took precedence.

For a future requirement from this buyer, credible suppliers will need the operational reach, staffing and systems to deliver water-hygiene services nationally, including planned and reactive work. Relevant experience should demonstrate delivery of comparable national contracts; where that evidence is not available, suppliers need to show how regional work, resources and systems establish national capacity. Legionella assessors need recognised risk-assessment qualifications, practical experience and competence in hot- and cold-water systems; the risk-assessment package also required full Legionella Control Association membership. Monitoring and remedial teams need a recognised Legionella-control or water-hygiene qualification and practical experience, with plumbing or mechanical qualifications for intrusive works. Supervisors must be competent in Legionella control and ACOP L8. Both packages required ISO 9001, ISO 45001 and ISO 14001, suitable financial standing and the ability to secure specified insurance cover.
