Summary of the contracting process

Lancashire County Council is actively seeking suppliers for its dynamic market in legionella services, aimed at enhancing health and safety compliance across the region. This tender, currently in the tender stage, invites service providers to contribute to seven distinct contracts covering Legionella Risk Assessment, Water Temperature Monitoring, and Reactive and Planned Legionella Remedial Works, each tailored to specific areas within Lancashire. The procurement method is classified as an open dynamic market, with negotiations expected to commence on 1 June 2026. These contracts will provide thorough technical inspection and testing services, critical to meeting legislative and safety standards.

Businesses specialising in technical inspection, plant repair, and maintenance, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises, stand to gain significantly from these opportunities. Successful suppliers will have the chance to tender for additional planned works valued over £10,000, promising avenues for business growth. Companies possessing expertise in risk assessment, water monitoring, and remedial works are well-positioned to compete, offering services that address immediate health risks and proactively manage water systems to mitigate legionella threats. As this is a dynamic purchasing system, it is particularly suited for adaptable and responsive businesses looking to secure long-term contracts in the maintenance services sector.
