UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Synchronicity Care Limited (SCL), a central government public authority, is undertaking a procurement process for the provision of water utilities. The contract requires a consistent water supply via water mains, with the procurement valued at approximately £838,494.62 annually, VAT exempt. This contracting process is categorised under the goods industry segment and takes place in the North East of England, specifically covering areas within the remit of Northumbrian Water Limited. The procurement stage has reached a complete status with a direct award method, justified by SCL's legal obligation to source from Northumbrian Water due to the geographical location of their premises. The commitment commences on 4th May 2026, extending initially until 3rd May 2027, with potential for two optional one-year extensions.

This tender presents distinct growth opportunities for businesses associated with utility management and infrastructure services. It mainly applies to those capable of negotiating contracts in the utilities sector, such as water supply services or sub-contracting installation work connected to water mains. However, due to the direct award nature to Northumbrian Water Limited, other businesses might find opportunities through secondary services related to the trust's infrastructure. Large organisations with expertise in the utilities sector might find partnership or collaborative prospects in complementary services, even though Northumbrian Water has been identified as the exclusive supplier for the contract itself.
