UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust procured water temperature monitoring sensors and associated software for use across its estate. The requirement continues and expands the Trust’s existing use of Citritek’s system, which provides real-time oversight of water system temperatures. Its functions include continuous monitoring, alerts and reporting to support statutory water safety compliance and assurance. This is a goods requirement focused on sensor equipment and the connected monitoring software that enables the Trust to manage water-system temperatures. The contracting authority is Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, based in Worthing. The selected supplier, Citritek Limited, is based in Bristol. The requirement is therefore relevant to suppliers of water-temperature monitoring hardware, connected software and systems supporting compliance oversight in healthcare estates.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a direct procedure below the threshold without competition. Citritek Limited was awarded the contract for the single lot. The contract was signed on 29 May 2026, runs from 1 June 2026 to 1 June 2031, and is valued at £125,000 excluding VAT, or £150,000 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The award basis was a direct continuation and expansion of the Trust’s existing Citritek sensors and software, rather than a competitive tender. This outcome shows a five-year requirement for water-temperature monitoring equipment and associated software, delivered through a below-threshold route without competition.

For a future requirement of this type, a credible competitor would need to provide water temperature sensors together with software for continuous, estate-wide monitoring. The solution would need to support real-time visibility, automated alerts and reporting, rather than supplying standalone hardware only. Experience of helping organisations oversee water-system temperatures and demonstrate statutory water safety compliance would be directly relevant, particularly in a healthcare estate. Suppliers should be able to show that their technology can support assurance activity and ongoing operational monitoring at the scale of a Trust estate. The incumbent’s established deployment indicates that integration with existing sensors, software and working practices may be important, so competitors would need a clear approach to continuation, expansion and system interoperability.
