## Description
AWARD 
Following the receipt of tenders on 4th November 2025, the Council has completed the assessment and award process, including the mandatory standstill period.  
Procurement description
The Council has appointed a supplier to deliver Water Hygiene services across its housing and corporate stock.
The scope of the service will include statutory water safety inspections, monitoring, and sampling, ensuring compliance with all relevant regulations and maintaining the safety and functionality of the Council's water installations. This is a re-procurement of an existing service provision.
Background information
Housing Stock Information
The Council has a housing stock of approximately 17,500 properties of which approximately 15,500 are socially rented and then there are approximately 2000 leasehold properties.  Within the stock there is a mix of housing types including houses and bungalows. However, the majority of the dwellings are within purpose-built blocks of flats constructed in the 1950s and 1960s.
Traditionally the estate has been spread across the two geographical areas of Portsea Island (on-island, PO1 to PO5) and Paulsgrove and Havant (off-island, PO6 to PO9).  
A recent acquisition of approximately 800 properties has however subsequently increased the 'off-island' area to sites in Gosport, Fareham and Winchester.
Within the contract there will be a requirement to monitor approximately 50 of the blocks of flats within the Council's stock, which will mostly be on-island, however, there will be infrequent inspections to the off-island stock as well.
Corporate Assets
The Council is also responsible for approximately 550 corporate assets including buildings such as schools, sports pavilions, care homes and offices; the majority of which are located on-island.  There are currently 150 corporate assets that require inspections.
Current & Future Demand
The demand fluctuates annually and is highly dependent upon the number of schools that access the Council's Service Level Agreements (SLA) within the Corporate assets, however, risk assessments within the residential assets are generally stable.  Over the last 12 months approximately 135 risk assessments were undertaken across both asset types.  It is anticipated that over the next 24 months this will remain within a +/- range of 15%
Changing Context and Objectives
Over the next 5-10 years the Council is expecting to experience a number of challenges with regards to the maintenance of its housing and corporate assets with any incumbent Supplier to work in partnership with the Council to ease pressures where they can.
Significant changes in legislation such as the Building Safety Act and Fire Safety Act will require greater scrutiny from suppliers to ensure they are working in a compliant way particularly when working in buildings of 6+ storeys.
There will be more focus on the accuracy and timely manner of up-load of compliance information and ensuring Legionella Risk Assessments are well managed a...
