Summary of the contracting process

The West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority is currently progressing through the tender stage of a public procurement process titled "Legionella and Water Monitoring Services 2026". This contract involves the provision of legionella and water monitoring services across all sites managed by the authority, and it falls under the services category within the water pollution industry classification. Based in Birmingham, the procurement is open and below the threshold, with an emphasis on competitive tendering. The final date for tender submissions is 17 July 2026, with the contract expected to commence on 3 August 2026 and last until 2 August 2028, with the possibility of a two-year extension. The project is valued at £110,000, providing potential business opportunities within the West Midlands region.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental services, particularly those experienced in water safety and pollution management. Small to medium enterprises, as well as established companies with the capacity to operate across multiple locations in the West Midlands, would find this tender especially suitable. The evaluation criteria, which allocate 75% weighting to price, 20% to quality, and 5% to social value, suggest that cost-competitive proposals with a robust emphasis on service quality and positive community impact stand a strong chance of success.
