## Summary

The UK Health Security Agency has completed the procurement process for a contract titled "Wastewater Sampling in Prisons," valued at £1,750,000. This project falls under the category of sewer survey services and is focused on enhancing public health safety in 60 prisons across England, particularly during the COVID pandemic. The contract period commenced on 13th December 2021 and will conclude on 31st March 2022. The procurement was conducted through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender period ending on 1st December 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in environmental and public health services, particularly those with expertise in wastewater management and surveillance systems. Companies that can ensure compliance with health regulations and demonstrate capacity in servicing prison facilities would likely find this contract highly suitable for their growth. The initiative not only aims to reduce infection risks but also underscores the increasing emphasis on health security in community settings, making it an attractive prospect for relevant businesses.

## Notice

Prisons have been recognised as areas of particular concern during the COVID pandemic. Serious illness and deaths from COVID in prisons are amongst the highest of any cohort of the population. Furthermore, the impact of COVID outbreaks on prison operations and mental wellbeing has been profound. A wastewater surveillance system is required to reduce the risk of infection to prisoners, prison staff, their families and communities. The scope of work refers to 60 of the approximately 120 prison locations in England.
