Summary of the contracting process

Lancashire County Council is establishing a countywide dynamic market for legionella control services, supporting Property Services in its legal duty to assess and control exposure to legionella bacteria. The requirement covers annual legionella risk assessments at allocated properties in northern and southern Lancashire; water-temperature monitoring, inspections and related tasks in both areas, in line with Health and Safety Guidance 274; and legionella remedial works. Remedial activity includes reactive repairs, investigation surveys, system balancing, replacement plant and equipment, chemical disinfection and assurance sampling. Planned works are divided between smaller interventions and planned works of greater value. The services are classified as technical inspection and testing, and repair and maintenance of plant.

The process has reached the award stage, with active suppliers appointed to all seven lots. The lots cover risk assessments in North and South Lancashire, water-temperature monitoring in North and South Lancashire, reactive remedial works in the North and South, and planned remedial works. The estimated value is £4,800,000 excluding VAT (£5,760,000 including VAT). It used an open procedure to establish a dynamic market, with electronic submission allowed. Each lot was assessed against economic and technical criteria in the Dynamic Market Selection Questionnaire. Reactive works are up to £200; planned works are over £500 to £10,000, while larger planned works are awarded through further competition on the most economically advantageous tender. Lot 1’s contract period is 1 May 2026 to 30 April 2030; the dynamic market framework period runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2036. Award establishment was recorded on 21 August 2026.

This procurement demonstrates sustained demand from Lancashire County Council for specialist legionella compliance and water-safety services across a large countywide estate. Credible competitors would need capability in legionella risk assessment, documented water-temperature monitoring and inspections against HSG 274, together with responsive remedial work. For remedial lots, relevant delivery experience includes diagnosing poor circulation, balancing systems, supplying and installing risk-reducing plant, chemical disinfection and assurance sampling. Suppliers should be able to handle both reactive instructions and defined planned scopes, and operate in either the northern or southern service area. The market was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, but competition included both specialist SMEs and larger compliance businesses, indicating that evidence of technical competence, financial standing, capacity and reliable geographical coverage will matter.
