The deadline for submissions is set for 21st April 2019, while the contract period will run from 6th May 2019 to 5th May 2021, with a possible 12-month extension pending mutual agreement. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in water dispensing solutions and related services.

The contract awarded is to be that included in the initial ESPO framework documentation and shall be let on a 24 month term with a potential 12 month extension at the mutual confirmation and acceptance of both the supplier and the contracting party.
