## Summary

The North Lanarkshire Council is seeking to establish a framework agreement titled "Watercoolers & Associated Services". This procurement is classified under the services industry, specifically relating to general public services and environmental protection. Located in Motherwell, North Lanarkshire, this tender is currently in the award stage as the contracts have been signed on 11th July 2017. Key procurement methods include an open procedure that accommodates all service areas council-wide and its Arms Length External Organisations (ALEOs). The tender involved two lots, with the submission period ending on 15th June 2017.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the water cooler and associated services sector, especially those capable of meeting the rigorous standards set by the contracting authority. Companies specializing in the leasing and supply of bottled water coolers, maintenance, and servicing of plumbing units would be well-positioned to compete, particularly those that can demonstrate a solid turnover and the necessary industry certifications. The scope for business growth may be enhanced by the option for contract extensions and the potential for ongoing servicing contracts for existing installations.
