Summary of the contracting process

The Legionella Monitoring and Risk Assessment Contract, awarded by St Helens Council, involves conducting anti-legionella temperature monitoring inspections and risk assessment reports at various premises. The contracting process follows an open procedure under the UKPGA 2023 legal basis. The procurement, with a gross amount of GBP 535,955.4, is completed as of October 2025, with the contract period extending from 11th November 2025 to 31st October 2027, plus two additional one-year renewal options. Located in St Helens, UKD7 region, the project falls within the environmental services category, offering significant business opportunities for service providers in this domain.

This contract presents a promising opportunity for companies specialising in building and facilities management services, particularly those experienced in environmental assessments and inspections. Businesses with the capability to conduct Legionella risk assessments and temperature monitoring could benefit from this procurement, especially as the project allows for contract extension up to 2029. SMEs, like AQUA ALLIES LTD, which successfully secured this contract, demonstrate suitability for similar-sized businesses in the sector to bid, particularly those capable of rapid response to monitoring instructions and emergencies, as stipulated by the council's technical and economic selection criteria.
