## Summary

Waythrough procured water cooler solutions as a goods requirement, covering the supply, installation and maintenance of water coolers. The requirement is associated with water coolers (CPV 31141000) and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Delivery activity covers the United Kingdom, including the DH6 5PF area, as well as Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and other locations worldwide. The buyer is Waythrough, based at Inspiration House, Unit 22 Bowburn North Industrial Estate, Bowburn, England. The requirement therefore concerns an end-to-end water cooler service rather than equipment supply alone, with suppliers expected to support installation and ongoing maintenance across a broad potential delivery area.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award procedure. The estimated tender value was £230,000, while the awarded value was £270,906. Culligan (UK) Limited was selected as the supplier on 26 August 2026. The awarded contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. The tender submission deadline was 26 August 2026. The procurement was treated as a goods contract, with the requirement presented as suitable for SMEs. The award is active, and the published outcome confirms that the selected supplier will provide the water cooler solution for the contract period. No separate lots or additional award criteria are identified in the procurement information.

This award provides a clear indication of Waythrough’s demand for a managed water cooler service combining equipment supply, installation and maintenance. Competitors seeking to serve a future requirement for this buyer would need to demonstrate reliable access to suitable water cooler equipment, competent installation teams and the ability to provide responsive planned and reactive maintenance. The broad stated delivery coverage favours suppliers with operational reach beyond a single local site, including the ability to support locations across the United Kingdom and potentially wider territories. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs, so a smaller specialist supplier with sufficient service capacity, logistics and technical support could be credible. Culligan’s selection also indicates the relevance of an established water-services or water-cooler operating model.
