## Summary

The University of Huddersfield procured specialist water-treatment and legionella-control services for its water systems. The scope covers legionella risk assessments; monthly water-temperature monitoring; scheduled cleaning and disinfection of cold-water storage tanks, distribution pipework and taps; quarterly descaling, cleaning and disinfection of shower heads; and annual cleaning, disinfection and fail-safe checks of thermostatic mixing valves. The requirement also includes water sampling and analysis by a UKAS-accredited laboratory, together with written reports and certificates for all findings. The work is centred on the University of Huddersfield in Huddersfield and covers delivery locations across Yorkshire. This is a services contract involving water treatment, technical inspection, testing and water analysis.

The procurement is complete and one supplier was awarded the single lot: Healthy Buildings (UK) Limited. The award was made on 5 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 6 August 2026 to 31 July 2030. Its value is £150,000 excluding VAT, or £180,000 including VAT. The procedure was a below-threshold tender. The selected supplier is listed with an active award and the contract is active. The award covers the full requirement, including risk assessment, scheduled water-system treatment and monitoring, laboratory analysis, reporting and certification. The award record identifies the procurement as services.

This requirement is relevant to businesses specialising in legionella prevention, water hygiene and treatment of institutional or complex building water systems. A credible competitor would need to deliver recurring risk assessments, temperature monitoring, tank and pipework disinfection, shower-head and tap treatment, and thermostatic mixing valve maintenance to an organised schedule. Laboratory sampling and analysis must be provided through a UKAS-accredited laboratory, while clear written reports and certificates are required for findings and completed work. The awarded supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a large national contractor. Experience managing compliance-led water hygiene services for a university environment would strengthen a future proposition.
