Summary of the contracting process

Aberdeenshire Council has successfully completed a direct award contract for the supply and delivery of swimming pool chemicals under the ESPO Swimming Pool Chemicals Framework 204 20. This procurement process, classified under the chemical products category (CPV code 24000000), took place as an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The procurement method was limited due to technical reasons, as specified in the rationale. This contract was signed on 27th May 2025 and involves delivery to the region UKM50, with Brenntag UK Ltd being the awarded supplier.

This tender creates an opportunity for large-scale suppliers of chemical goods, particularly those capable of meeting the specific requirements of public sector clients such as local councils. Businesses with existing frameworks or those able to offer competitive pricing in niche markets, like swimming pool chemicals, may find participation in similar tenders beneficial for growth. Although the procurement phase has advanced to the award stage, understanding the dynamics of this procurement can aid businesses in preparing for future opportunities with similar requirements.
