The scope covers water-system and drinking-water services, including work on primary water systems and water tanks, water-treatment work, technical inspection and testing, water-supply consultancy, and tank cleaning. The college is the buyer; SSC Partnership Limited is managing the procurement as its agent. The site is at Mount Pleasant, Cambridge, where interested companies could arrange a visit to understand the facilities and their layout. The requirement is a service contract focused on water hygiene and associated system maintenance, treatment and inspection. The buyer invited offers through an advertised open procedure, under which interested organisations or consortia could bid. The submission deadline was 29 October 2026 at 12 noon; the deadline for questions was 21 October 2026 at 11:59 pm. The contract was scheduled to run from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with an option to extend by up to two years, for a maximum term of five years. The tender is divided into one lot. Evaluation weights are 40% technical ability and quality, 30% social value and 30% price. The published lot and process values are zero, so they do not provide a usable estimate of the contract’s financial value. Bids were to be submitted electronically in English. This opportunity is suited to suppliers able to deliver water hygiene services across college facilities, with the technical capability to inspect and test water systems, carry out water treatment and tank cleaning, and support safe management of drinking and other water supplies. Providers with experience working on primary water systems and water tanks are well placed to address the stated range of services. Bidders also need to demonstrate technical ability and service quality, since these carry the greatest evaluation weight, alongside a credible social value offer and competitive pricing.
