The framework, awarded to Churchill Contract Services Limited on 27th May 2026, has been designed to ensure a comprehensive programme of assessments over a contract period starting from 1st August 2026. It allows for potential renewal, extending the initial two-year period by an additional two years, with work to primarily occur within the UKC region. The awarded framework presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in architectural, construction, engineering, inspection, and environmental services. Smaller enterprises are encouraged to engage, primarily those equipped with Legionella Control Association accreditation. The open tender attracted notable interest, evidenced by the receipt of 13 bids, including nine from SMEs. Companies capable of delivering high-quality, price-competitive solutions and with expertise in contract management and social value delivery are particularly well-suited to compete within this framework structure. Further participation by additional contracting authorities is also possible under specific service agreements, broadening the potential reach and impact of participating businesses. ## Notice Durham County Council requires a competent and accredited Contractor to deliver a comprehensive programme of Legionella Risk Assessments across approximately 525 premises, including but not limited to offices, public buildings, educational establishments, leisure facilities, communal areas, fire stations and sports pavilions. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: The Framework period is 2 years, with the option to extend by a further 2 years from the framework end date.
