Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Authority procured water hygiene and Legionella management services for its fire and rescue estate across Dorset and Wiltshire. The requirement covers monitoring and control of Legionella and related water safety management, classified as health and safety services. It also includes services related to water pollution. The buyer is a public authority responsible for public order and safety, with its headquarters in Salisbury. The work concerns the authority’s estate rather than a single site, so relevant suppliers would need to operate across the Dorset and Wiltshire area and manage water hygiene risks in operational fire and rescue facilities. The requirement was pursued through the Fusion 21 Building Safety & Compliance Framework, Lot 4 for Legionella monitoring and control.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a limited further competition under the Fusion 21 Building Safety & Compliance Framework, without a prior published call for competition, and was stated to comply with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Three bids were recorded. Evaluation was split equally between technical quality and price, each weighted at 50%. Churchill Contract Services Ltd was selected, and the contract is active. The contract value is £282,761 excluding any unspecified tax treatment, in GBP. The contract was signed on 3 July 2026. The lot itself is recorded as cancelled, while the associated award and contract are active; this indicates the procurement outcome is the active award to Churchill Contract Services Ltd rather than an available opportunity.

This award shows established demand from Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Authority for estate-wide water hygiene and Legionella management delivered through a compliant public-sector framework route. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical expertise in Legionella monitoring, risk control and water hygiene management, together with the ability to provide consistent services across a geographically spread fire and rescue estate. The evaluation gives equal importance to technical quality and price, so suppliers would need to demonstrate robust service methods, competent personnel, reliable reporting and effective risk management while remaining commercially competitive. Experience of working in operational public-sector or safety-critical environments would strengthen a supplier’s position, as would framework access or the ability to qualify for an equivalent compliant procurement route.
