Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust commissioned weekly water testing for its WD440 AER washer-disinfector and dishwasher. The work is a water-testing service associated with surface-water treatment, for equipment identified by the Trust as WD440 AER. Can West Services Ltd was selected to deliver the service. The contracting information identifies the buyer and the equipment but does not name a delivery site, so the requirement can be matched by suppliers offering the relevant testing service rather than by a stated geographic location.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. One lot was awarded to Can West Services Ltd, and the contract was signed on 18 September 2026. The contract runs from 21 September 2026 to 20 September 2028, with a possible one-year extension to 20 September 2029; the stated terms are two years plus one year, with three months’ advance notice to the supplier before an extension. The contract value is £92,731.68 excluding VAT (£111,278.02 including VAT). The procurement was below the applicable threshold; no further procedure or evaluation basis is recorded.

This award shows a recurring requirement at Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust for weekly water testing linked specifically to WD440 AER washer-disinfector and dishwasher equipment. A credible competitor when the requirement returns would need to provide dependable weekly testing and demonstrate practical familiarity with water testing for this type of healthcare equipment. The selected supplier, Can West Services Ltd, is an SME, showing that a smaller business was selected for this service. The work is a focused, ongoing service rather than a broad treatment project, so suppliers whose capability and operational capacity support regular testing would be best placed to compete. The award provides evidence of the buyer, service scope and delivery pattern to monitor for future purchasing.
