Summary of the contracting process

Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust procured point-of-use water filtration services for high-risk clinical environments in London. The requirement covers the supply of 0.2 micrometre absolute-rated filters for taps and showers, designed to reduce the risk of waterborne pathogens including Legionella pneumophila and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The filters are intended for critical areas such as neonatal intensive care, oncology, transplant and intensive care units, supporting the Trust's patient safety and water management strategy. The service also includes maintaining consistent filter availability, rapid delivery when required and participation in a mandatory on-site product demonstration for shortlisted suppliers. The requirement is classified as services and includes water filtration apparatus and building services.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a below-threshold limited competition, with one bid received for the single lot. The contract was awarded to T-Safe UK Ltd on 3 August 2026 for £290,513 excluding VAT, or £348,615.60 including VAT. The contract period runs from 26 August 2026 to 31 July 2029, with an option to extend through two further 12-month periods, giving a maximum extent date of 31 July 2031. The selected supplier is responsible for the point-of-use filter service. The award is active, and the contract signature was scheduled for 26 August 2026. The procurement was evaluated through the limited competition process.

This award demonstrates a recurring NHS requirement for specialist point-of-use filtration in clinically sensitive settings. Suppliers seeking to compete when the requirement next returns would need to provide 0.2 micrometre absolute-rated tap and shower filters suitable for use around vulnerable patients and high-risk care areas. Credible delivery would depend on reliable stock availability, the operational capacity to supply approximately 1,000 filters initially and meet an indicative annual demand of 12,000 units, with volumes able to vary. Rapid fulfilment is important, so suppliers would need dependable logistics and responsive customer service. They would also need to demonstrate that their solution supports the requirements of HTM 04-01 and BS 8580-2:2022, and be prepared to provide an on-site product demonstration.
