Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council procured statutory Legionella risk assessments for domestic and non-domestic properties across Sheffield. The work includes carrying out technical assessments and providing reports and associated documentation to support the council’s management of water-system risks and legal obligations. It is classified as technical testing, analysis and consultancy services, although the procurement category is recorded as works. The council is both the buyer and the organisation responsible for the requirement. Delivery is across properties in Sheffield, within the Yorkshire and the Humber area. The requirement is relevant to businesses providing Legionella risk assessment, water hygiene, technical testing or related compliance consultancy services for housing portfolios and other public-sector or commercial premises.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. Sheffield City Council used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 2 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to The Testing Lab PLC on 16 July 2026 for £69,237, with the contract running from 20 July 2026 to 20 July 2029. The procurement was assessed as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier is responsible for the statutory Legionella risk assessments, reports and associated documentation covering the council’s domestic and non-domestic properties in Sheffield. The award is recorded as active, while the overall tender status is complete. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one contract value; no separate lot awards are described.

For a supplier that did not win this contract, the award demonstrates demand from Sheffield City Council for a multi-year, portfolio-wide Legionella compliance service delivered through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable competence in statutory Legionella risk assessments across both domestic housing and non-domestic premises, together with the operational capacity to visit properties across Sheffield and manage work at scale. It would also need to produce clear, reliable reports and supporting compliance documentation that the council can use for risk management and audit purposes. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that a business of similar scale can satisfy this type of public-sector requirement when it has the relevant technical capability, reporting systems and experience of structured framework delivery.
