The Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Service has concluded the procurement process for a contract titled "Legionella Risk Assessments", focused on building services consultancy services within the South West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement was executed as a selective method with a call-off from the SWPA Asset Safety & Compliance framework, indicating a competitive process amongst prequalified suppliers.
