UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Freebridge Community Housing procured water hygiene testing and remedial work for properties it owns and manages. The requirement covers services associated with hygiene monitoring and testing, disinfection, water tanks, repairs and maintenance, plumbing consultancy, monitoring and control, water-supply and waste consultancy, environmental assessment and disinfecting services. It is a public housing opportunity led by Freebridge Community Housing, based in King’s Lynn, with Eastern Procurement acting as the framework provider. Delivery covers properties within the buyer’s housing portfolio, across the geographic areas included in the requirement. This is a services contract rather than a supply-only purchase or standalone construction project, combining testing and monitoring with practical remedial and maintenance work where water hygiene issues are identified.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective procedure under an existing framework, without a competitive call-off. One lot was completed. The contract was awarded on 14 July 2026 to Sureserve Compliance Water Limited for £500,000 excluding VAT, or £600,000 including VAT. The contract was signed on 23 July 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2031. Freebridge Community Housing can extend it by one year on two occasions, giving a possible maximum end date of 30 September 2033 and a total duration of up to seven years, at the client’s discretion. The award was above the relevant threshold and the contract is active.

This award shows established demand from a housing provider for an integrated water hygiene service rather than an isolated testing package. Suppliers preparing for comparable work with Freebridge Community Housing would need capability in water hygiene inspection and monitoring, disinfection, diagnosis and remedial action, plumbing-related advice, water tank work, repairs and maintenance, and associated construction tasks. The requirement also favours organisations able to manage environmental and water-supply consultancy alongside operational delivery. Because the service covers a broad spread of geographic areas, credible competitors would need effective regional coverage, reliable field-response capacity and consistent processes across multiple properties. Experience delivering compliance-focused services for housing portfolios would help demonstrate the operational control needed for this type of contract.
