## Summary

Sunderland City Council intends to procure specialist legionella monitoring and maintenance services. The work covers routine water-safety monitoring and maintenance, including temperature monitoring, shower descaling and disinfection, inspections of cold-water storage tanks and water heaters, thermostatic mixing valve servicing, and cleaning and disinfection. This is a technical testing, analysis and environmental monitoring service for the council’s authority-owned facilities and water systems. The contract is classified as a service procurement and is intended to support the council’s ongoing management of legionella risks. Suppliers with established water hygiene, legionella control or environmental monitoring operations are likely to find the scope relevant, particularly those able to deliver scheduled inspection, testing, servicing and remedial maintenance activities.

The procurement is at the planning stage: the council has announced its intention to buy but has not issued an invitation to tender. It is above the applicable threshold and is currently planned as one lot. The anticipated contract period is 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2030. The estimated value is £415,520, with a gross estimated value of £498,624, in GBP. The council is conducting market engagement through a questionnaire, with responses expected by 24 August 2026. A subsequent notice is expected on 14 September 2026. The planned engagement is intended to inform the developing procurement before suppliers are invited to compete. The single lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This procurement is likely to suit specialist water hygiene and legionella control contractors with practical experience of monitoring and maintaining hot- and cold-water systems. Relevant capability includes temperature monitoring, shower and outlet descaling, disinfection, cold-water storage tank and water-heater inspections, thermostatic mixing valve servicing, and documented cleaning and disinfection. Suppliers should be prepared to manage a recurring programme of planned visits, inspections, testing and maintenance across the council’s estate, with reliable scheduling and technical reporting. The council has indicated that small and medium-sized enterprises are suitable for the single lot, so established regional specialists and capable SMEs may wish to use the market engagement stage to explain their delivery model, capacity, technical approach and experience.
