Summary of the contracting process

Clarion Housing Group is procuring water hygiene management services for its housing operations. The requirement covers legionella risk assessments and water hygiene remedial works, including technical inspection, testing, hazard assessment and corrective activity. It is divided into four regional lots: northern and southern areas for risk assessments, and northern and southern areas for remedial works. Delivery spans multiple areas of England, covering regions across the North, Midlands, East, London and the South. The buying organisation is Clarion Housing Group. The requirement is for services rather than goods or construction, with the remedial lots focused on putting identified water hygiene problems right and the assessment lots focused on identifying and managing legionella risks in buildings and associated water systems.

The procurement is complete and awards were made on 21 September 2026 through an open competitive flexible procedure with two stages. Stage one assessed participation, quality and price; higher-scoring bidders in each lot could then be interviewed. Life Environmental Services Ltd was awarded Lots 1 and 2 for legionella risk assessments, worth £4,301,600 gross. Urban Environments Limited was awarded Lots 3 and 4 for water hygiene remedial works, worth £6,220,720 gross. Both awards have a contract period from 15 March 2027 to 14 March 2032, with an optional five-year extension to 14 March 2037. Each lot allowed a maximum of one lot award per supplier. Evaluation weighted service delivery and mobilisation at 50%, technology at 11%, health and safety at 5%, sustainability at 4%, and price at 30%.

This award demonstrates a substantial, long-term requirement for housing-sector water hygiene specialists able to deliver both legionella risk assessments and remedial works across geographically dispersed properties. Credible competitors would need to show strong mobilisation and service-delivery planning, supported by suitable technology for managing inspections, findings, records and follow-up actions. Health and safety competence is central, as is the ability to identify hazards and carry out effective corrective works in occupied or operational housing environments. Sustainability performance also forms part of the buyer’s assessment. The lots were identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the successful suppliers included SMEs, indicating that specialist regional providers can be credible competitors. Relevant capacity across multiple English areas and a clear approach to quality assurance would strengthen a future response.
