Summary of the contracting process

South Kesteven District Council commissioned water management services covering Legionella risk assessments, surveys and associated remedial work. The requirement is a specialist health, safety and water-system consultancy service rather than the supply of equipment or construction works. It sits within the services category and includes consulting services for water-supply and waste consultancy. The council is based at its offices in Grantham, South Kesteven. The awarded requirement relates to the council’s operational area, although the published information identifies the delivery area only as part of the United Kingdom. The work is therefore relevant to firms that assess Legionella risks, inspect water systems, produce survey findings and carry out or manage remedial measures for a local authority.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was completed. South Kesteven District Council awarded the contract to Second Element Limited, an SME, on 20 April 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and runs from 20 April 2026 to 19 April 2029. Its value is £90,000 excluding VAT and £108,000 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and the service scope, but does not set out an award scoring model or separate evaluation weightings. This is a completed local-authority services procurement with a three-year delivery period.

This award demonstrates established demand from South Kesteven District Council for specialist Legionella and water-management support over a sustained contract period. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in Legionella risk assessment, water-system surveys, clear technical reporting and the specification or delivery of remedial actions. Experience of working safely in occupied public-sector or similarly regulated premises would strengthen a supplier’s position, as would the capacity to coordinate inspection programmes, prioritise risks and follow issues through to resolution. The requirement is suited to an SME or specialist consultancy able to combine competent survey work with responsive remedial management, rather than a general facilities-management provider without demonstrable water-hygiene expertise.
