UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Curo Group (Albion) Ltd procured the rental of hot and cold water taps, with water supplied for use at The Maltings and its satellite offices in Bath. This is a goods requirement covering the provision of water taps under a rental arrangement. The stated purpose is to provide hot and cold water taps at the named offices. The awarded item is classified as natural water, so the requirement concerns water-tap provision and supply rather than installation or construction work.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected through a below-threshold limited competition. AQUAID FRANCHISING LIMITED won the single lot, and the contract is active. It was signed on 25 September 2026; the award date and awarded value are not published. The contract runs from 5 October 2026 to 4 October 2031, with a possible 12-month extension to 4 October 2032. Curo may prevent the extension by giving at least 90 days’ written notice before the initial term expires; otherwise it extends automatically. The contract value is £68,083 excluding VAT (£81,700 including VAT).

For suppliers considering this requirement when it next comes to market, the award shows that Curo buys hot and cold water taps on a rental basis for its Bath offices. A credible competitor would need to provide the taps and support an ongoing rental arrangement across The Maltings and satellite offices. AQUAID FRANCHISING LIMITED, an SME, was selected, showing that a smaller specialist supplier was capable of winning this limited competition. The scope is focused on water-tap provision, rather than a wider facilities or building-works package. Suppliers whose business covers rental water taps and servicing arrangements for multiple office locations are the closest fit; the award does not establish any further technical, accreditation or staffing requirements.
