Water retailer wins £2.14m contract with leading NHS trust

Source for Business has been awarded a £2.14 million water and waste water retail contract with Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, one of the largest and best known NHS trusts in the country.

Source for Business is the national trading brand for Pennon Water Services which had previously provided water services to the Trust.

The firm was awarded the retail contract for both services after a competitive process that saw the retailer focus on its expertise in water efficiency and the cost savings it could help the Trust to achieve.

Richard Hales, Energy and Sustainability Manager (Estates and Facilities Management) at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust commented:

“We have been through a comprehensive process of understanding the newly deregulated water sector. Following a rigorous procurement exercise we are very happy to have secured Source for Business as our water and waste water services retailer. Through the whole procurement process they showed a real understanding of the site and appreciation of our needs. We are looking forward to a very productive relationship that works to continually improve our integrated capacity, efficiency and resilience agenda for a sustainable future,” said

Following recent contract wins with the Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Foundation Trust and BMI Healthcare, the latest win adds to Source for Business’ growing reputation as a specialist in the healthcare sector.

Commenting on the win, Richard Stanbrook, Director of Source for Business said:

“We are very pleased to be awarded both the water and waste water retail contract with Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. This will allow us to build a long term relationship with the Trust and will help it to use resources efficiently and to save money. This contract win adds to our growing reputation in the healthcare sector and highlights the expertise and customer service excellence we offer customers in this area”

Part of the FTSE 250 Pennon Group, Source for Business operates as the national trading brand of Pennon Water Services; a 80:20 Joint Venture between Pennon Group and South Staffordshire Plc and currently serves more than 165,000 customers accounts nationwide.
