Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Business Services Organisation Procurement and Logistics Service buys maintenance of reverse osmosis equipment and polishing plants, hot and cold water softeners, along with microbiological water testing and associated consumables, test kits and test soils. The equipment supports decontamination and renal services. The work is repair and maintenance of specialist water-treatment equipment, with related testing and supplies. Delivery is in Northern Ireland. The contract title focuses on reverse osmosis equipment and polishing plants, while the lot scope also includes water softeners, testing and associated consumables for decontamination and renal equipment.

The procurement has been awarded to Vantive Ltd. The contract was signed on 6 August 2019 and is active. Its stated period is 3,060 days, with an awarded value of £3,465,000. The original procurement covered a single lot and a 2,520-day contract period. The buyer’s modification notice says the contract may be extended by up to a further 18 months, using the full extension period, because no suitable tenders were received for the renewal procurement and a replacement contract had not been awarded before the existing period ended. The extension is intended to maintain service continuity while that tender process is concluded. The award record does not state an evaluation basis or procurement method.

This award demonstrates continuing demand from the Business Services Organisation Procurement and Logistics Service for specialist maintenance covering reverse osmosis equipment, polishing plants and water softeners used in decontamination and renal settings. A credible competitor would need to maintain and support this equipment, carry out microbiological water testing, and supply the associated consumables, test kits and test soils as an integrated service. The need for continuity across a broad equipment and service scope suggests that bidders should be able to sustain operational cover across the contract, rather than provide isolated repairs or products. The renewal procurement received no suitable tenders, making demonstrated technical suitability and the capacity to provide the full requirement commercially significant for suppliers considering this buyer’s future purchasing.
