Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for water testing services has recently been completed by the University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust, a public authority within the central government, located at Royal Derby Hospital, Derby, UK. The procurement was conducted under the tender initiation type and culminated in a contract award on 28th January 2026. The water testing services will be implemented across various sites within UHDB, spanning regions across the UK, from 1st March 2026 until 28th February 2027, with potential extensions up to February 2029. This falls under the industry category of water-treatment work and utilises a below-threshold procurement process, highlighting the strategic needs of the institution while supporting public health initiatives.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in water hygiene and treatment services. With Eurofins Water Hygiene Testing UK Limited, a large-scale enterprise, securing the contract, this procurement emphasises the importance of having a robust capability to handle regional operations across multiple sites. Businesses that can offer competitive rates along with advanced technological solutions in water treatment would find similar opportunities favourable. Those in the environmental sciences, health and safety compliance sectors, or existing large-scale service providers could be well-positioned to compete in tenders of this nature, which demand comprehensive geographical coverage and reliability in public utility services.
