## Summary

Norwich City Council has awarded a contract for "Water hygiene testing" as part of a procurement process initiated through a direct award from the Compliance (Water Hygiene) Framework. The contract, valued at £85,000, aims to maintain temperature parameters and ensure compliance with regulations regarding Legionella bacteria. The procurement process is classified as selective and is complete, with the contract period starting from October 1, 2021, and ending on September 30, 2022. The project lies within the works category, specifically relating to water-treatment chemicals and hygiene monitoring equipment, and delivery is expected in the East of England.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in water hygiene and testing services. Businesses that focus on compliance with health and safety regulations within public sector contexts would be particularly well-suited for participation. As the procurement was carried out through a framework and included local suppliers, there is potential for further collaboration and demand in the East of England market, especially in light of ongoing needs for compliance and risk assessment services related to water hygiene.

## Notice

Legionella bacteria is found in natural sources and is dormant when temperatures are below 20oC but could already exist in council properties. Therefore, regular testing is required to ensure that temperature parameters are maintained. Eastern Procurement Ltd (EPL) is a not-for-profit organisation offering specialist compliant framework agreements, social landlords and other public sector bodies, predominantly in the Eastern region. The council are owner members of EPL and work closely with them to create bespoke procurement frameworks. The frameworks promote value for money for the council and include SMEs and local suppliers. EPL confirmed that a direct award made through the Compliance (Water Hygiene) Framework was recommended as the best outcome for the urgent requirement of the contract.
