What is being bought

United Utilities (UU) require services to undertake the collection of liquor samples with refrigerated transportation from UU for analysis for Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) permit requirements. The IED sampling requirement is part of an improvement programme outlined within the newly issued permits to characterise any liquors returning to the head of a wastewater treatment works. It requires a large suite of determinands to be analysed including freshwater specific pollutants and priority hazardous substances and BAT conclusions (6 and 7). Samples must be transported in a refrigerated vehicle in accordance with ISO 5667 requirements. Upon collection of the samples, the results should be returned to the Laboratory within an agreed reasonable turnaround time, in an agreed reasonable format. The intention is that sampling will commence March 2026, and will be ongoing for 5 years. Based on the assumption that the first 3 months will be a more intensive sampling regime followed by a reduction in sampling frequency: Year 1: 588 samples Year 2: 336 samples Year 3: 336 samples Year 4: 336 samples Year 5: 336 samples The required determinands to be analysed are as follows: Determinands • 1,1,1-trichloroethane • 1,1,2-trichloroethane • 1,2-dichloro-ethane • 2,4-dichlorophenol • 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) • 2-chlorophenol • 3,4-dichloroaniline • 3-chlorophenol 4-chlorophenol (total or individual monochlorophenols) • 4-chloro-3-methylphenol • Abamectin • Aclonifen • Adsorbable organically bound halogens (AOX) • Alachlor • Ammonia (un-ionised) • Anthracene • Arsenic • Atrazine • Azinphos-methyl dissolved) • Bentazone • Benzene • Benzo(a)-pyrene (BaP) (see PAHs below for AA and biota EQS) • Benzo(b)-fluor-anthene (see PAHs below for AA and biota EQS) • Benzo(g,h,i)-perylene (see PAHs below for AA and biota EQS) • Benzo(k)-fluor-anthene (see PAHs below for AA and biota EQS) • Benzyl butyl phthalate • Bifenox (Methyl 5-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)-2-nitrobenzoate) • Biphenyl • Boron • Brominated diphenylether - total PBDE (or congener) numbers 28, 47, 99, 100, 153 and 154 • Bromine (total residual oxidant) • Bromoxynil • C10-13 chloroalkanes • Cadmium and its compounds (dissolved) water hardness 100mg to less than 200mg • Cadmium and its compounds (dissolved) water hardness 200mg or more • Cadmium and its compounds (dissolved) water hardness 40mg to less than 50mg • Cadmium and its compounds (dissolved) water hardness 50mg to less than 100mg • Cadmium and its compounds (dissolved) water hardness less than 40 milligrams • Carbendazim • Carbon tetrachloride • Chemical oxygen demand • Chlorfenvinphos • Chloride • Chlorine (total residual oxidant) • Chloronitro toluenes • Chlorothalonil • Chlorotoluron • Chlorpropham • Chlorpyrifos (chlorpyrifos-ethyl) • Chromium (III) (dissolved) • Chromium (VI) (dissolved) • Cobalt (dissolved) • Copper (dissolved) • Coumaphos • Cyanide • Cybutryne • Cyclodiene pesticides - total aldrin, dieldrin, endrin and isodrin • Cyfluthrin • Cypermethrin • DDT total • Demetons • Di(2-ethylhexyl)-phthalate (DEHP) • Diazinon (sheep dip) • Dibutyl phthalate • Dichlorobenzene (total dichlorobenzene isomers) • Dichloro-methane • Dichlorvos • Dicofol • Diethyl phthalate • Diflubenzuron • Dimethoate • Dimethyl phthalate • Dioctyl phthalate • Dioxins and dioxin-like compounds • Diuron • Doramectin • EDTA • Endosulphan • Ethylbenzene • Fenchlorphos • Fenitrothion • Flucofuron • Fluoranthene • Fluoride - (dissolved) (more than 50mg/l of calcium carbonate per litre of water (mg/l)) • Fluoride (dissolved) (less than 50 milligrams of calcium carbonate per litre of water (mg/l)) • Formaldehyde • Free cyanide • Glyphosate • Heptachlor & heptachlor epoxide • Hexabromocyclo-dodecane (HBCDD) • Hexachloro-benzene • Hexachloro-butadiene • Hexachloro-cyclohexane • Hydrocarbon oil index (HOI) • Hydrogen sulphide • Indeno(1,2,3-cd)-pyrene (see PAHs below for AA and biota EQS) • Ioxynil • Iron (dissolved) • Isoproturon • Ivermectin • Lead and its compounds - (dissolved) • Linuron • Malachite green • Malathion • Mancozeb • Maneb • Manganese • MCPA (pH level higher than 7) • MCPA (pH level less than 7) • Mecoprop • Mercury and its compounds - (dissolved) • Methiocarb • Mevinphos • Naphthalene • Nickel and its compounds - (dissolved) • Nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) • Nonylphenol (4-nonylphenol) • Octylphenol (4-(1,1',3,3'-tetramethyl-butyl)-phenol) • Omethoate • Para-para-DDT • PCSDs • Pendimethalin • Pentachloro-benzene • Pentachloro-phenol • Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid and its salts (PFOS) • Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) • Permethrin • pH • Phenol • Phenol index • Pirimicarb • Pirimiphos-methyl • Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) - Benzo(a)-pyrene (BaP), Benzo(b)-fluor-anthene, Benzo(k)-fluor-anthene, Benzo(g,h,i)-perylene and Indeno(1,2,3-cd)-pyrene.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 71. The category anchor is Laboratory services (71900000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
