## Summary

Hopwood Hall College bought drinking water fountains, including their supply and installation, annual servicing and ongoing maintenance. The fountains are for delivery in Rochdale, Greater Manchester. The requirement was procured through the Crescent Purchasing Consortium’s framework for drinking water dispensers and associated services, using its relevant lot. This is a goods purchase with associated installation and recurring support, so it is relevant to suppliers able to provide fountains and maintain them over time. The college is the buying organisation; the procurement description covers the equipment and its lifecycle services as one requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Hopwood Hall College selected BWT UK Ltd, and the contract was signed on 25 September 2026. Its value is £32,340. The award was made through a limited procedure without a prior competition notice, using the CPC Drinking Water Dispensers and Associated Services framework as the route to market. The award covered one lot, which was subsequently marked cancelled in the procurement data; the award and contract are nevertheless recorded as active. Price was the stated award criterion. Two bids were recorded for the lot. The contract covers supply, installation, annual servicing and ongoing maintenance; no contract-period dates are recorded.

For suppliers considering a future requirement from Hopwood Hall College, this award demonstrates demand for drinking water fountains bundled with installation and continuing annual servicing and maintenance, rather than equipment supply alone. A credible competitor would need to deliver the fountains, install them at the college’s Rochdale location and provide dependable ongoing support. The buyer used an established purchasing framework and evaluated bids on price, so suppliers should be able to compete through a relevant framework route and offer a competitive priced package covering the equipment and services together. The recorded competition included two bids, indicating that more than one supplier could participate through this route. The requirement suits businesses with the product range and service capacity to support the full lifecycle of a college fountain installation.
