Summary of the contracting process

Royal Holloway and Bedford New College procured works to chlorinate and disinfect its cold-water storage tank. This is plumbing and sanitary work, intended to disinfect the tank. The buyer is Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, based in Egham, Surrey. The delivery location is recorded as the wider UKJ area; the specific site is not stated. The requirement covers one lot and is described as cold-water storage tank chlorination and disinfection. The awarded work sits within the works category.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to H2OCHEM LTD, a small and medium-sized supplier. The buyer used a below-threshold limited competition, seeking quotations. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 1 September to 30 November 2026. Its value is £57,606 excluding VAT, or £69,127 including VAT. The procurement comprised one lot, and the contract is recorded as active. The award was made for cold-water storage tank chlorination and disinfection. The procurement information does not set out a separate scored evaluation formula or award weighting.

This award shows that Royal Holloway and Bedford New College buys specialist water-system disinfection as a defined works package, rather than as a broad facilities contract. A credible competitor would need the practical capability to chlorinate and disinfect cold-water storage tanks and deliver plumbing and sanitary works for an institutional site. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist business was able to deliver this requirement. The route used was a limited competition based on requests for quotations, so suppliers competing for similar work should be equipped to respond to a quotation exercise and demonstrate a clear, relevant delivery offer. The requirement is focused and single-lot, making relevant technical experience and capacity for a contained tank-disinfection project central to competing when this buyer next purchases similar work.
