Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust procured water management services across its estate in London. The requirement covers planned preventative maintenance, water hygiene monitoring, Legionella risk management, water sampling and inspection, cleaning and disinfection, remedial works, and related regulatory compliance services. This is a specialist facilities and water-safety service, classified under water distribution and related services (CPV 65100000). The work supports the Trust’s healthcare estate and requires a supplier able to manage routine water-system maintenance alongside risk control, testing, hygiene interventions and remedial activity. The procurement was conducted for the Trust as the buying organisation, with the selected supplier responsible for delivering the full range of services associated with the water management requirement.

The procurement is complete and a contract was awarded to TECS Specialist Water Limited following a further competition under the NHS London Procurement Partnership Works and Maintenance Dynamic Purchasing System. The procedure was selective, using a restricted procedure. Eight bids were received, all electronically and all from SMEs. Evaluation weighted quality at 60% and price at 40%. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 and has a value of £1,425,000. Its initial term is three years, with an option for the Trust to extend it by up to two further 12-month periods, subject to satisfactory performance and requirements. The recorded lot status is cancelled, while the award and contract are active.

This award demonstrates demand from an NHS foundation trust for an integrated water-safety service rather than a single maintenance task. Competitors would need credible capability in planned preventative maintenance, water hygiene monitoring, Legionella risk management, sampling, inspection, cleaning, disinfection and remedial works, with the ability to coordinate these activities across a healthcare estate. Strong technical evidence and robust compliance processes would be important because quality carried greater weight than price in the evaluation. The competition also shows that an SME can be selected for this scale of specialist requirement. Suppliers considering comparable future work for this buyer should be able to evidence reliable service delivery, competent water-risk management, responsive remedial capacity and experience operating in demanding healthcare environments.
