Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Supply & Delivery of Swimming Pool Chemicals" was conducted by Aberdeenshire Council, a regional authority in the United Kingdom. This process falls under the industry category of Chemical Products and is specifically linked to equipment for swimming pools. The process has been completed and was an award stage involving a contract valued at £260,000. This took place in the location designated as UKM50, specifically in Aberdeen. The procurement method involved was a limited procedure, conducted without prior publication of a call for competition due to technical reasons, under the ESPO Swimming Pool Chemicals Framework 204 20. The contract was awarded on 27th May 2025 to Brenntag UK Ltd.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for companies within the chemical supplies sector, particularly those specialising in the manufacture and delivery of swimming pool chemicals. Although this specific contract was directly awarded without typical competitive bidding, firms capable of demonstrating technical exclusivity in their products may find similar opportunities arising from framework agreements. Businesses with a regional focus on pools and recreational equipment would benefit greatly, especially if they possess unique solutions or technical advantages that limit competition. Such frameworks and direct awards are ideal for larger suppliers like Brenntag UK Ltd, but smaller enterprises with niche expertise may also fit into future projects of this nature if they can establish a unique value proposition.
