Summary of the contracting process

West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust has completed the procurement process for the provision of water softeners to be supplied by QSALT LIMITED. The contract titled "WHHT - Water Softner Supply 26/27" involves the delivery of goods under the main procurement category of 'salt' for the duration of 1st March 2026 to 28th February 2027. This procurement falls under the industry category of goods, executed through a limited competition method due to its below-threshold status.
