Summary of the contracting process

Caledonian Sleeper Limited is seeking a supplier for legionella testing and water hygiene services. The work covers its trains and its office and lounge locations in Scotland, with the possibility of additional offices or lounges in Scotland being added during the contract. The service requirement combines testing for legionella with wider water hygiene work across these operational and workplace settings. This is a single-lot services contract for suppliers able to deliver the required work across the stated locations. The buyer is the railway operator Caledonian Sleeper Limited, based in Inverness.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure, and the tender was set up for electronic submission in English. The submission deadline was 16 November 2026 at 16:00; bids were to remain valid for 180 days, and bid opening was scheduled for the deadline time. The contract period is 1,080 days, with one possible 12-month extension. The estimated value is £680,000. The evaluation criteria cover portal performance (30), supply chain management (20), service delivery (30), environmental policies (20) and price (40). The tender does not allow variant bids. Electronic ordering and payment are provided for, and electronic invoicing is permitted.

This requirement is suited to providers with the capability to carry out legionella testing and water hygiene services in both rail and office or lounge environments. Suppliers should be able to organise service delivery across trains and multiple locations in Scotland, and manage the supply chain needed to perform the work. The evaluation explicitly considers service delivery, supply chain management, portal performance and environmental policies, alongside price, so bidders should be prepared to demonstrate strength in each of these areas. The possible addition of further Scottish offices or lounges means suppliers should be able to accommodate changes in the locations served during the contract. The scope calls for a coordinated service across operational rail settings and workplace premises.
