UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Calderdale and Huddersfield Solutions Limited bought rental and maintenance services for water coolers for its NHS trust. The requirement covers supplying coolers on a rental basis and maintaining them, with drinking-water distribution identified as the service category. Delivery is in West Yorkshire, in the area served by Calderdale and Huddersfield Solutions Limited. The procurement was arranged as a single lot, covering the requirement as one package. This is a facilities service for suppliers able to provide and maintain water-cooling equipment for a healthcare organisation, rather than a purchase of standalone equipment. The selected supplier is Culligan (UK) Ltd.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 21 September 2026 to Culligan (UK) Ltd. The award value is £48,000 excluding VAT (£57,600 including VAT). The contract period runs from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2031, with two possible 12-month extensions, allowing the term to extend to 31 December 2033. The contract was let below threshold through a competitive award under a framework, using a selective procedure. It was handled as one lot. The recorded award is active, and a future signature date was scheduled for 19 October 2026. The buyer is Calderdale and Huddersfield Solutions Limited.

The award shows recurring demand from Calderdale and Huddersfield Solutions Limited for a managed water-cooler service: suppliers need to provide rental equipment and maintain it over a sustained contract term. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the operational capacity to install or supply coolers across the buyer’s West Yorkshire service area, maintain equipment reliably, and support the needs of an NHS trust. Experience coordinating ongoing servicing alongside equipment rental would be directly relevant. The route used here was a competitive award under a framework, so suppliers seeking similar work should be positioned to compete through an applicable framework arrangement. The selected supplier demonstrates that a provider combining rental and maintenance capability can meet this buyer’s requirement.
