UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Aneurin Bevan University Health Board procured the rental, servicing and maintenance of water coolers through the ESPO framework for water dispensers, associated consumables and services. The requirement is for water-cooler equipment supplied on a rental basis, together with ongoing service and maintenance. Delivery is across sites in Newport and Cwmbran, Wales. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership managed the procurement on the Health Board’s behalf. The award covers one lot and identifies water coolers as the procured goods.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Culligan (UK) Limited through a direct award under the ESPO framework, using a selective, non-competitive route. The contract was signed on 7 October 2026 and awarded on 8 October 2026. Its value is £43,908 excluding VAT (£52,689.60 including VAT). The initial contract runs from 8 October 2026 to 7 October 2029, with two optional one-year extensions, giving a maximum period to 7 October 2031. The process comprised one lot. No evaluation criteria are stated in the published procurement data.

This award demonstrates recurring Health Board demand for rented water coolers supported by service and maintenance, rather than a one-off equipment purchase. A credible supplier for a future requirement would need to provide and manage cooler rental alongside reliable servicing and maintenance across multiple healthcare sites in Newport and Cwmbran. The selected supplier was Culligan (UK) Limited, a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that a supplier of this scale competed successfully for the requirement. The buyer used a direct award through the ESPO framework, so experience supplying water dispensers, associated consumables and services through that framework is commercially relevant. Suppliers should be able to deliver consistent equipment support across the Health Board’s locations and sustain service over a multi-year contract with possible extensions.
