## Summary

The procurement process involves the buying organisation, Defra Network eTendering Portal, which is tasked with undertaking water risk assessments for Legionella on Natural England's National Nature Reserve (NNR) buildings. This project is classified under the industry category of Primary Water Systems, and has a total contract value of £21,700. The procurement type is a selective procedure, with the tender period having ended on 14th July 2017, and the contract period commencing on 16th August 2017 and concluding on 27th October 2017. The initiative has a focus on compliance with health and safety regulations regarding water systems.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental health and safety assessments, particularly those experienced in water risk management. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) could find this contract particularly accessible, allowing them to engage in public procurement and expand their clientele. Companies with expertise in risk assessment and environmental improvement works would be well-positioned to compete for this contract, contributing to the compliance and safety of public buildings.

## Notice

Natural England manages their NNR buildings estate in-house without the benefit of a facilities management company such as Interserve. On occasions we need to buy in expertise to ensure we keep our buildings compliant with various aspects of legislation. In the past we have bought in services to carry out Fire Risk Assessments and Asbestos Management Surveys. At the end of the last F/Y we commissioned Mott MacDonald working with Hydrop to carry out Water Risk Assessments on a sample of our NNR buildings. We have an additional 31 buildings, spread across 22 workbases for which we have no relevant information. We are therefore not compliant with The Control of Legionella bacteria in water systems - Approved Code of Practice & Guidance on Regulations:2013. Water Risk Assessments and Reviews for the sites named - A suitable and sufficient assessment in accordance with the HSE's Approved Code of Practice L8 is required to identify and assess the risk of exposure to legionella bacteria from work activities and water systems on the premises and any necessary precautionary measures. The assessment will include identification and evaluation of potential sources of risk and: - the particular means by which exposure to legionella bacteria is to be prevented; or - if prevention is not reasonably practicable, the particular means by which the risk from exposure to legionella bacteria is to be controlled.
