Details

As the Supervisory authority for small private regulated water supplies in Wexford, Wexford County Council is required to monitor certain group water schemes and private premises which have their own wells, including caravan parks, schools, estates etc. The drinking water is sampled and analysed in accordance with S.l. No. 99/2023 - European Union (Drinking Water) Regulations 2023. Results are reported to Wexford County Council each month. The current compliance sampling contract ends on December 31st, 2026, and Wexford County Council is requesting tenders from interested parties for provision of these services. The service provider will be required to provide the following services: a) Compliance (and occasional investigative) sampling and analysis of drinking water for both 'check' and 'audit' parameters as set down by S.I. No. 99/2023 - European Union (Drinking Water) Regulations 2023 and listed in Appendix 1 Requirements and specifications. b) Occasional investigative sampling. These are normally duplicate samples i.e coliforms, e.coli free and total chlorine. Other parameters may also be asked for. c) In accordance with EPA requirements, all analysis of parameters in compliance samples (except for free and total chlorine, odour and taste and Dalapon) shall be accredited. Investigative samples do not have to be accredited. d) Reporting of results to Wexford County Council as detailed in Appendix 1 Requirements and specifications. There are currently about 170 private and group water supplies (Entities). This number is variable. It is expected that up to 15 additional schemes will be added during 2026 and these additional entities shall be sampled and analysed at tender rates. Each scheme shall have two check samples carried out annually. A small number of schemes will have more than two check samples and/or will require an audit sample. The level of analysis, including Limits of Detections must meet the requirements cited in S.I. No. 99/2023 - European Union (Drinking Water) Regulations 2023. The laboratory appointed (and/or sub contracted laboratory) must be accredited to !NAB (or equivalent) for all relevant parameters.

Documents

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this financial & professional services opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
