Summary of the contracting process

Ipswich Borough Council is seeking a supplier for an e-chlorination system for Fore Street Swimming Pool in Ipswich. The requirement is for goods relating to chemical treatment and basic inorganic chemicals, covering the provision of the system for use at the swimming pool. The buying organisation is Ipswich Borough Council, a sub-central public authority. Work or delivery is centred on Fore Street Swimming Pool in Ipswich. This opportunity is relevant to businesses that supply e-chlorination equipment or associated chemical-treatment systems for swimming pools and similar facilities. The procurement is categorised as goods rather than works or a service contract, so suppliers should assess whether their offer is primarily the supply of equipment and related chemical-treatment products.

The procurement has reached the tender stage: Ipswich Borough Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Clarification questions had to be submitted electronically through the procurement portal by 11:00am on 4 September 2026. Tender submissions were due electronically by 11:00am on 21 September 2026, and late returns were not permitted. The estimated value is £30,000 excluding VAT and £36,000 including VAT. The contract period is from 26 October 2026 to 30 November 2027. There is one lot. Offers are evaluated on price, weighted at 60%, and quality, weighted at 40%. Electronic submission was permitted, with questions generated through the portal’s correspondence function. The process is below the relevant threshold.

This opportunity suits suppliers with a directly relevant e-chlorination product range and experience supplying chemical-treatment equipment for swimming pools. Businesses should be able to offer a system appropriate for use at a public swimming-pool facility and demonstrate that their products fall within chemical products or basic inorganic chemical supply. The requirement is a focused, single-lot goods opportunity rather than a multi-site or multi-lot programme, which may suit specialist suppliers and smaller businesses whose core business is water-treatment or pool-chemical equipment. Commercial fit will depend on the supplier’s ability to provide the required e-chlorination system and meet the stated quality expectations, since quality accounts for 40% of the evaluation alongside a 60% price assessment.
