Summary of the contracting process

Dundee City Council procured a water hygiene monitoring programme for its properties in Dundee. The service covers inspection, monitoring, servicing, testing, certification and reporting, across two lots. It is a specialist water safety and compliance service, classified under CPV 71317200 for health and safety services. Both lots concern the same overall requirement, with Lot 1 and Lot 2 covering different groups of council properties. The buyer is Dundee City Council, with delivery at its Dundee property estate. The programme involves ongoing operational work rather than a one-off supply, including maintaining records and producing compliance evidence. It is therefore relevant to firms providing water hygiene inspection, monitoring, testing, remedial servicing and certification services for public-sector buildings and estates.

The procurement is complete and both lots were awarded to Dalkia Operations Ltd. Lot 1 has an active contract valued at £940,307.01; Lot 2 has an active contract valued at £623,159.93. Both contracts were signed on 22 July 2026. Each lot has a 1,080-day initial period, with an option for a further two years followed by another two-year extension. The original tender deadline was extended to 13 May 2026 at 12:00, and the award period began on 6 May 2026. It used an open procedure with electronic submission. Evaluation included price, weighted at 40, and quality through contract resourcing, weighted at 15. Six bids were received for each lot, including four from SMEs per lot.

This award demonstrates substantial recurring demand from Dundee City Council for structured water hygiene compliance across a sizeable public-property estate. A credible future competitor would need the operational capability to inspect, monitor, service and test water systems, issue certificates, maintain accurate inspection records and provide clear management reports. The requirement also favours suppliers able to resource two comparable service streams and manage varied property and equipment schedules, including tanked-water assets and thermostatic mixing valves. Financial and risk controls are important: bidders and subcontractors must hold £10 million employers’ liability insurance and £10 million public liability insurance, and meet the council’s financial-strength threshold. Four SMEs bid for each lot, showing that suitably capable smaller specialist firms can compete alongside larger providers.
