## Summary

The procurement process involved ESPO, a central purchasing body based in Leicester, England, which initiated a tender titled "198_20 Water System Risk Assessment and Water Hygiene." This procurement is classified under the health and safety services industry and aims to establish a multi-supplier framework agreement for water system risk assessments and water hygiene monitoring services. The contract has an estimated value of £16 million, spanning from 5 January 2021 to 31 December 2022, with the possibility of a 24-month extension. The open procedure allows public bodies across the UK to utilise the framework, and the tender period concluded on 9 November 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs and voluntary community sector enterprises, particularly those specialising in health and safety services, technical testing, and consultancy. Businesses that can offer comprehensive water system risk assessments, hygiene monitoring, and related services would be particularly well-suited to compete for contracts under this framework. The impending eAuction process for subsequent call-off contracts also enables landscape diversification for participating suppliers.

Additional information: As a Central Purchasing Body as defined by the EU Procurement Directive 2014/24/EU, the framework agreement is open for use by public bodies (defined at https://www.espo.org/ESPO/media/Documents/FAQs/ESPO-s_powers_to_trade__website_-2016-12-22.pdf) that also fall into one of the following classifications of user throughout all administrative regions of the UK: local authorities; educational establishments (including Academies); central government departments and agencies; police, fire and rescue and coastguard emergency services; NHS and HSC bodies, including ambulance services; registered charities; registered social landlords; the Corporate Office of the House of Lords, the Corporate Officer of the House of Commons; or any public body established by or under the Scotland Act 1998 or any Act of the Scottish Parliament. Details of the classification of end user establishments and geographical areas are available at: http://www.espo.org/About-us-(1)/FAQs/Legal The following information is applicable to all lots - ESPO has established a commercial trading company, ESPO Trading Ltd, whose target clients are third sector organisations such as national and local charities, public sector mutual organisations and other organisations involved in the delivery of services to or for the public sector. The successful supplier may be asked to enter into an additional separate framework agreement (the Second Framework) with ESPO Trading Ltd on materially similar terms to that found in the tender pack to be entered into by ESPO itself.
