## Summary

Chichester District Council’s requirement is for legionella testing services at properties it owns. The work is a specialist water-safety service, involving testing for legionella bacteria in building water systems. The listed delivery location is Chichester, West Sussex. Hampshire County Council is recorded as the buyer for this procurement, while the service is explicitly described as being for Chichester District Council. The work is categorised as a service and relates to water-treatment work (CPV 45232430). This requirement is relevant to firms that test water systems for legionella and can undertake that work at council-owned premises in the Chichester area.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Aquacair Ltd. The award was made on 4 March 2026, at a value of £33,240. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2028. The estimated procurement value was also £33,240. The council used a limited procedure described as a competitive quotation below the applicable threshold. The quotation deadline was 20 February 2026 at 14:00 UTC. The procurement was presented as a single requirement, with no separate lots listed. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to participate; voluntary, community and social enterprises were not. The published details do not state the evaluation criteria.

The award shows that Chichester District Council buys legionella testing for its own properties through a competitive quotation route, with work delivered in the Chichester area. Aquacair Ltd, recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise, was selected, demonstrating that an SME can deliver this requirement. A credible competitor when this council requirement next reaches the market would need to provide specialist legionella sampling and testing across council-owned premises, with the operational capacity to service multiple sites and report reliable results. Experience in water-system safety and the practical ability to arrange site access and testing across a property portfolio would be directly relevant. The procurement provides evidence of a defined, multi-year service requirement rather than a one-off test; suppliers should assess whether their legionella-testing service and delivery capacity match that scope.
