Opportunity overview

The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA), through the Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI), a unit within DAERA, has a statutory responsibility for private water supplies under the Water and Sewerage Services Order (Northern Ireland) 2006. This is implemented through The Private Water Supplies Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2017 which requires a sampling and analysis programme to be put in place and maintained for all private water supplies registered under these regulations (Regulations 9 - 12). Therefore DWI requires a Supplier to undertake the collection, transportation, analysis and reporting of results for samples of drinking water taken by local council officers from private water supplies across Northern Ireland under The Private Water Supplies Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2017.
