Coverage: 343 active published awards; 32 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

What is being bought
Analysis of water samples should be performed in a UKAS-accredited (or local equivalent) laboratory with the current ISO standard methods for detection and enumeration included within the scope of accreditation. The laboratory should also take part in a water microbiology proficiency testing scheme (such as that run by Public Health England (PHE) or an equivalent scheme accredited to ISO 17043). Alternative quantitative testing methods may be used as long as they have been validated using ISO 17994 and meet the required sensitivity and specificity
