## Summary

The Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust is seeking bids for the contract titled "GB-Bournemouth: Water Testing Laboratory Services." This procurement process is currently in the Tender stage and involves laboratory services within the water testing industry, primarily focusing on the testing of Legionellosis bacteria. The tender was published on 28th February 2019 and will close on 28th March 2019. The contract is projected to start on 1st May 2019 and run until 30th April 2022, with a total estimated value of up to £100,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in laboratory services.

## Notice

The services of an UKAS accredited Laboratory are required to carry out testing of water samples predominantly but not confined to Legionellosis bacteria. The appointed laboratory will be required to either:- (a) provide a collection service from an agreed location, currently The Estates Department offices, 64 Palmerston Road. Boscombe BH1 4HT or to be located within a geographic area to enable samples to be delivered directly by Trust staff, whilst still ensuring the testing conditions above are met. In the event that Trust-delivery is not possible the cost of any collection service must be incorporated within the tender response. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
