Summary of the contracting process

Cumberland Council, located in Carlisle, United Kingdom, has completed the award stage for the "Water Hygiene and Monitoring Contract," which involves technical testing, analysis, and consultancy services. This procurement process was conducted using an open procedure, awarding Integrated Water Services Limited as the supplier with a contract value of up to £1,250,000. The contract period is slated to begin on 7th April 2026, concluding on 31st March 2031, with an option for a two-year extension. The standstill period for the award concluded on 2nd April 2026. This initiative primarily serves public authority – sub-central government purposes, and its estimated gross amount is £1,500,000, reflecting services above the threshold.

This contract presents substantial business opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in water management and hygiene solutions, technical consultancy, and related fields. Companies with capabilities in water temperature recording, water tank assessments, sampling, testing, and monitoring systems would find this tender appealing. While the contract is substantial, small and medium enterprises are encouraged to explore future opportunities as Cumberland Council supports diversity and varied business communities. The inclusion of various sites such as residential care homes and office sites under the council’s jurisdiction assures ongoing demand for technical testing and consultancy services, providing significant growth potential in the Reino Unido's competitive market landscape.
