Summary of the contracting process

Ipswich Borough Council procured an e-chlorination system for Fore Street Swimming Pool in Ipswich. The purchase is for chemical-treatment equipment, classified as goods, for use at the council’s swimming pool. The requirement is focused on supplying the system rather than a wider pool-management or maintenance service. The awarded supplier was Prodose Ltd, based in Sleaford. This procurement shows the council’s demand for equipment to support water treatment at its Fore Street facility.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Ipswich Borough Council used an open competition below the applicable threshold. The tender was published on 19 August 2026; clarification questions were due by 4 September 2026 and submissions by 21 September 2026. Price carried 60% of the evaluation and quality 40%. The reported contract value is £22,022 excluding VAT (£26,426 including VAT). Prodose Ltd was awarded the contract, which was signed on 23 October 2026. The contract period runs from 26 October to 18 December 2026. The tender estimated value was £30,000 excluding VAT, with £36,000 including VAT stated in the tender data.

For suppliers of swimming-pool chemical-treatment equipment, this award provides a concrete example of Ipswich Borough Council buying an e-chlorination system for a municipal pool. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply equipment suited to pool water treatment and present a strong quality case alongside a competitive price: the evaluation gave quality a substantial role as well as price. The selected supplier was a small or medium-sized business, indicating that a supplier of this scale was able to meet the requirement. The competition was open, so suppliers should be prepared to compete directly on the stated quality and price basis. The work is a focused equipment supply for Fore Street Swimming Pool, rather than a broad facilities-management contract.
