UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

City Hospitals Independent Commercial Enterprises Limited is procuring services to maintain a water treatment plant on behalf of Choice Ltd. The work covers repair and maintenance of plant and associated maintenance services, including minor works to the water plant when required. Delivery is across Sunderland and the Tees Valley and County Durham area. The buying organisation is based at Sunderland Royal Hospital, Sunderland. This is a specialist facilities and engineering maintenance requirement rather than a supply-only contract, and is relevant to contractors that maintain water treatment, process-water or comparable plant in healthcare or other operational environments.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. Bids may be submitted electronically in English by 1 September 2026 at 12:00. The planned award decision date is 1 October 2026 at 23:59. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027, with renewal arrangements described as 2+2 years and a maximum extent date of 30 September 2031. The estimated value is £400,000 excluding VAT, or £480,000 including VAT. There is one lot. Offers will be evaluated on price weighted at 65% and quality weighted at 35%. The requirement includes an option for minor works to the water plant.

This opportunity suits water-treatment plant maintenance contractors, mechanical and electrical engineering firms, and facilities-service providers with practical experience repairing and maintaining operational plant. Suppliers should be able to provide planned or responsive maintenance and undertake associated minor works when instructed. The work is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so smaller specialist businesses may be well placed to compete, either independently or through an appropriate delivery arrangement. Strong candidates are likely to have relevant technical capability, a dependable service team, and sufficient capacity to support a healthcare-related site across the required North East locations throughout the contract period and any renewals. Experience maintaining comparable critical infrastructure would be commercially relevant.
