## Summary

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust procured a water-quality testing and data-management service. The work is for the Trust and is delivered in Somerset. The published service description identifies both water-quality testing and the management of the resulting data; the associated service classification is for maintenance of mechanical building installations, although the stated requirement is water quality. The contract is a single service requirement rather than a set of separately described work packages. The selected supplier is Hydrop Environmental Consultancy Services Limited, a Manchester-based small business. This procurement shows the Trust’s need for specialist support to test water quality and manage related information at its Somerset operations.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Somerset NHS Foundation Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. One contract was signed on 9 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £12,299 excluding VAT and £14,758.80 including VAT. Hydrop Environmental Consultancy Services Limited was selected as the supplier. The award covers the single lot and is recorded as active. The published information does not set out a comparative evaluation or award-scoring basis; the stated route was a direct award without competition. The requirement is categorised as a service, with the award item classified under repair and maintenance services for mechanical building installations, alongside the description of water-quality testing and data management.

For suppliers that did not win, this award is evidence that Somerset NHS Foundation Trust buys a defined, specialist service combining water-quality testing with data management. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate the technical ability to carry out water-quality testing and reliably handle the associated data, with a service offer suited to the Trust’s Somerset operations. The award went to a small environmental consultancy, showing that a specialist SME was able to meet the buyer’s requirement at this scale. The route used was a below-threshold direct award without competition, so this outcome does not establish an open competitive process or a published scoring model. Suppliers seeking comparable work should focus on relevant technical capability, dependable delivery and experience supporting an NHS trust’s water-quality monitoring and information needs.
