Options

Description
The initial contract term is three (3) years. The Contracting Authority reserves the option to extend the contract for up to two (2) additional periods of twelve (12) months each, resulting in a maximum potential contract duration of five (5) years. The optional extension periods may be exercised subject to satisfactory contractor performance, continued operational need, budget availability, and agreement by both parties. These options allow the Health Board to maintain continuity of service, ensure compliance with statutory water hygiene requirements, and avoid unnecessary procurement activity where continued service delivery is beneficial. The contract may also include optional additional tasks related to water hygiene remedial work, sampling, system cleaning, and maintenance activities, which may be instructed as required during the term of the contract. These optional works will be commissioned in line with the contract pricing schedule.

Planning and budget

No Engagement Notice Rationale
A preliminary market engagement exercise was not undertaken as the requirement is well-defined, routine in nature, and the Health Board has a clear understanding of the market based on recent similar procurements. No issues were identified that required early supplier input, and the procurement route, specification, and budget were already confirmed by the Health Board. Undertaking PME would not have provided additional value or altered the scope or approach. A fully open and competitive tender process will ensure transparency, equal treatment, and adequate opportunity for all suppliers to participate.
