Interested parties must submit their electronic responses by 21st March 2025. Located in Staffordshire, West Midlands (postal code ST5 5BG), the university mandates a site visit on 14th May 2025 for all tenderers and estimates the contract's total value at £1 million excluding VAT over the contract period. This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in water system inspection and disinfection. The contract demands a comprehensive approach and methodology, relevant experience, expertise, and a strong emphasis on risk management and legislative compliance. With a substantial focus on quality and competitive pricing in the evaluation criteria, businesses proficient in these areas and possessing the necessary qualifications and skills are well-suited to compete, ensuring high standards and value throughout the contract duration. ## Notice Tenders are invited from interested parties for the Contract for Chemical Disinfection and Inspection of Water Systems at Keele University in accordance with the Tender Specification Documents in Section 2 of the Invitation to Tender (ITT). The Tender Specification Documents are listed in Section 2 of the ITT and are attached as separate documents. The services required are fully described in the Tender Specification Documents. All Tenderers are required to submit a compliant tender response in accordance with the tender requirements as set out in the Tender Specification Documents. All tender responses will be subject to the Tender Evaluation Methodology as set out in the ITT. Main reasons for the decision not to sub-divide the contract into lots: Given the need for one Service Provider to co-ordinate the delivery of all of the services required, the contract has not been subdivided into lots.
