## Summary

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured a Legionella laboratory testing and sample collection service for its water services. The requirement covers laboratory analysis of samples from Trust sites, scheduled collection from those sites, and specialist technical advice where Legionella colony counts are high. This is a specialist environmental and public-health laboratory service, classified under laboratory services (CPV 71900000). The work supports the Trust’s healthcare operations across its sites in Leeds. Suppliers suited to this requirement would combine water-sampling logistics with laboratory capability and the ability to interpret results and advise on appropriate responses to elevated Legionella counts.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was completed. The contract was awarded to 20/30 LABS LIMITED on 31 March 2026 and signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £43,606.25 excluding VAT, or £52,327.50 including VAT. The evaluation basis is reflected in the direct award route rather than a competitive scoring exercise. The selected supplier is responsible for the Legionella laboratory testing, scheduled sample collection and specialist technical advice required by Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from a major NHS hospital trust for recurring Legionella water-safety support, combining reliable sample collection with laboratory testing and expert interpretation. Competitors seeking to serve this buyer when the requirement returns would need dependable operational coverage across Trust sites, robust processes for scheduled collections and the laboratory capacity to handle water samples consistently. They would also need credible technical expertise to assess high Legionella colony counts and provide clear specialist advice to a healthcare organisation. The direct, non-competitive route used here indicates that a supplier’s established capability, relevant service fit and ability to meet the Trust’s specific operational requirements would be important.

## Notice

The service requirement is to carry out laboratory testing of the Trusts water services, and provide specialist technical advice on high legionella colony counts. This also include scheduled collection from Trust sites.
