This tender, identified as A001, is currently in the active planning stage and will span a duration of four years, commencing on 20th September 2020 and concluding on 19th September 2024. The framework will be divided into two lots: Lot 1 for Risk Assessment and Consultancy Services, and Lot 2 for Control and Maintenance Services. The deadline for tender submissions is set for 12:00 noon on 26th May 2020, and the procurement method follows an open procedure, ensuring transparency and broad participation in the contracting process. This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses, particularly those providing water hygiene and consultancy services. Companies specialising in Legionella risk assessment, water management, or technical testing will find this framework particularly suited to their expertise. The structure allows for one supplier to be appointed for Lot 1 and up to three suppliers for Lot 2, creating a competitive field for those who meet the tender requirements. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as this procurement is designed to be accessible while ensuring high standards of service delivery in water hygiene across the region. ## Notice Acivico Limited wishes to establish a Framework Agreement for the provision of Legionella and Water Hygiene management and control services. The framework will be available for use by Acivico Limited in order to support its operations within the West Midlands and Birmingham Area. The Framework Agreement will last for 4 years. The framework agreement will be split into 2 Lots as follows: o Lot 1 - Legionella and Water Hygiene Risk Assessment, Review, Audit and Consultancy Services o Lot 2 - Legionella and Water Hygiene Control and Maintenance Services The framework agreement will be awarded to one supplier for Lot 1 and up to 3 suppliers for Lot 2.
