## Summary

Norfolk County Council procured servicing and maintenance for Zip water taps under a Hydro Care maintenance plan for council properties. The requirement is a services contract covering repair and maintenance of installed Zip tap equipment. The buyer is Norfolk County Council, based in Norwich, and the work relates to its properties across the council estate. This is a specialist facilities maintenance requirement rather than a general construction, plumbing or equipment supply contract. Businesses relevant to this procurement would provide planned servicing, fault diagnosis, repair and ongoing maintenance for Zip taps or comparable filtered drinking-water and hot-water systems. The requirement is focused on keeping existing equipment operational for the council’s property users and staff.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold procedure, with the specific method recorded as unknown. It consisted of one lot. The award is active and was made to ZIP HEATERS (UK) LTD. The awarded contract value was £32,007.74 excluding VAT, or £38,409.29 including VAT. The contract was signed on 15 July 2025 and ran from 16 July 2025 to 8 June 2026. The procurement was categorised as repair and maintenance services. The available outcome information identifies the selected supplier and the contract’s financial and delivery period; it does not set out a separate scoring model or detailed evaluation weighting. This is therefore evidence of a completed, single-supplier council requirement.

This requirement is commercially relevant to specialist manufacturers, authorised service partners and facilities maintenance businesses able to support Zip tap systems in public-sector buildings. Credible competitors would need practical capability in planned servicing, preventative maintenance, fault finding, repairs and replacement of components, with enough operational capacity to cover a council property estate rather than a single site. Experience maintaining installed drinking-water or hot-water dispensing equipment would help demonstrate that capability, particularly where service continuity, response times and safe operation matter. The award also shows that Norfolk County Council uses a focused, below-threshold route for this type of requirement and selected a specialist supplier. Businesses tracking this buyer should use the requirement as a benchmark for the technical scope, service model and scale expected when comparable maintenance work returns to market.
