Summary of the contracting process

NHS Blood and Transplant is procuring a national Legionella and water-hygiene risk assessment and consultancy service for its sites across the United Kingdom. The work covers completing and delivering Legionella risk assessments at properties owned or leased by NHSBT, with the appointed consultancy required to identify and prioritise any remedial works found during surveys. This is a specialist water-treatment and water-supply consultancy service, including water-treatment work (CPV 45232430) and related water-supply and wastewater consultancy (CPV 90713100). NHSBT manages estates and facilities across four regions—North East, North West, South East and South West—and operates from 84 properties nationally. The buyer is NHS Blood and Transplant, based in Bristol. The requirement is a service rather than construction or goods supply, and is relevant to firms providing Legionella compliance, water-hygiene surveying and associated consultancy at scale.

The procurement has reached tender: NHS Blood and Transplant has invited offers through an open procedure. The tender submission deadline is 13 August 2026 at 12:00 BST, with the award decision due by 21 August 2026 at 23:59 BST. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2031, with two possible 12-month extensions, allowing a maximum end date of 31 August 2033. The estimated value is £1,960,000 excluding VAT, or £2,352,000 including VAT. There is one lot. Offers may be submitted electronically in English. Evaluation is weighted 70% on technical questions, 20% on price and 10% on social value. The procurement is above the relevant threshold and covers the national NHSBT requirement.

This opportunity suits a specialist Legionella risk assessment or water-hygiene consultancy with the technical expertise to survey healthcare-related estates, assess water systems and produce practical, prioritised recommendations for remedial work. Suppliers should be able to manage a national programme across NHSBT’s properties, including both owned and leased sites, and coordinate consistent assessment and reporting across its four regions and 84-property estate. The requirement is particularly relevant to businesses with established field-survey capability, competent technical staff and the operational capacity to deliver repeated assessments and consultancy over a multi-year service period. The evaluation gives the greatest weight to technical quality, so firms should be prepared to demonstrate a strong methodology, reliable quality controls and a clear approach to identifying and prioritising remediation. Social value commitments will also contribute to the evaluation.
