Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Queen Victoria Hospital NHS Foundation Trust procured water supply, wastewater removal and associated ancillary services for Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead. The requirement covers public utility services supporting the hospital’s operational needs. The procurement was run by the Trust, which is both the buyer and the organisation managing the requirement. It was a further competition under the Government Commercial Agency’s RM6306 Water, Waste Water & Ancillary Services framework, Lot 3 One Stop Shop. This is therefore relevant to water companies, water retailers, wastewater service providers and utility suppliers able to manage an integrated hospital account. Suppliers would need to cover both incoming water services and wastewater arrangements, together with related ancillary services, rather than a standalone water-only requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Water Plus Limited. The award date was 18 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract value is £570,579 over the stated three-year period, with an indicative start date of 1 October 2026 and an option to extend for one further 12-month period. The procedure was a limited further competition under the RM6306 framework, using a call-off contract and an award procedure without prior publication of a separate competition notice. Four bids were recorded. Bids were evaluated on price. The published lot was described as a three-year requirement for water supply, wastewater removal and associated ancillary services, with the extension option applying to that requirement.

This award demonstrates established NHS demand for a combined water, wastewater and ancillary-services package at a hospital, rather than separate low-value utility purchases. A credible competitor for a future requirement from Queen Victoria Hospital would need to provide reliable water and wastewater account management, coordinate the associated services, and handle the operational and billing complexity of a healthcare site. The route to market is also significant: suppliers need access to, or a route into, the relevant Government Commercial Agency water framework and the ability to compete through its call-off process. The evaluation was price-based, so a supplier would need strong cost control and transparent pricing alongside dependable service delivery. The incumbent is a large utility supplier, indicating that capacity and resilience will matter.
