Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process involves a direct award contract titled "Water & Sewerage" managed by two central government entities, Synchronicity Care Ltd (SCL) and County Durham & Darlington NHS Foundation Trust (CDDFT). The procurement is set to ensure a continuous and reliable water supply to the trust infrastructure, valued at £322,239.84 for SCL and £516,254.78 for CDDFT, both VAT exempt. The contract covers the UK region "UKC" and involves Northumbrian Water Limited as the supplier. The process is classified under the "goods" category, specifically focusing on "Water mains." The contract period spans from 18th May 2026 to 17th May 2027, with options for two 12-month extensions. This completed procurement adheres to the legal framework outlined in the UKPGA 2023/54 and is essential due to the legal and practical obligations to procure water from Northumbrian Water, which has exclusive rights in the serviced area.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the water supply industry, especially those capable of engaging with large, central government contracts. As the procurement method was a direct award due to the necessity of using the exclusive supplier, businesses should explore similar contracts where they may have unique capacities or exclusive rights. Companies within the utilities sector, particularly those specialising in reliable service delivery and large-scale client management, are well-suited to capitalise on this type of opportunity for business growth and expansion. The contract's assured renewal options further enhance the attractiveness of such tenders, providing potential long-term revenue streams and solidifying relationships with public sector clients.
