## Summary

The Department for Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) has completed the procurement process titled "DAERA - Private Water Supplies: Delivery of Annual Monitoring Programme". The procurement was conducted using an open procedure and is covered by the General Procurement Agreement (GPA). The contract, overseen by the Construction and Procurement Delivery (CPD) - Supplies and Services Division, was awarded to Tetra Tech Consulting (NI) Limited. The procurement addresses the industry category of technical testing, analysis, and consultancy services, and is focused on private water supplies across Northern Ireland. This contract began on 4th October 2025 and is set to run until 2nd October 2028, with two optional one-year extensions available. The procurements' total estimated value stands at approximately £1,068,000, inclusive of VAT.

This contract presents valuable opportunities for growth within businesses specialised in water testing, analysis, and consultancy services. Enterprises with expertise in laboratory and technical consultancy services will find this tender particularly beneficial due to the ongoing demand for sampling, analysis, and reporting of drinking water standards across Northern Ireland. The successful engagement with DAERA through this project not only allows for immediate business growth in terms of contract value but also positions businesses to establish long-term partnerships with central government bodies, enhancing their portfolio and credibility in the public sector marketplace.

## Notice

The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA), through the Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI), a unit within DAERA, has a statutory responsibility for private water supplies under the Water and Sewerage Services Order (Northern Ireland) 2006. This is implemented through The Private Water Supplies Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2017 which requires a sampling and analysis programme to be put in place and maintained for all private water supplies registered under these regulations (Regulations 9 - 12). Therefore DWI requires a Supplier to undertake the collection, transportation, analysis and reporting of results for samples of drinking water taken by local council officers from private water supplies across Northern Ireland under The Private Water Supplies Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2017.
