## Summary

Blackburn with Darwen procured a service covering the supply of swimming pool chemicals, monthly microbiological testing and pool plant maintenance and servicing. The requirement supports the operation and upkeep of swimming pool facilities, combining chemical supply with regular water-quality testing and maintenance of pool plant. The main category is repair and maintenance services (CPV 50000000). Blackburn with Darwen is the buying organisation, and the services are delivered in Blackburn. The contract is focused on an integrated pool-services requirement rather than a standalone supply of chemicals or an isolated testing commission. Businesses operating across water treatment, swimming-pool compliance, plant engineering and planned maintenance would find the scope most relevant, particularly where they can combine these activities under one service offer.

This procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Blackburn with Darwen used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Correct Flow Eng Ltd was selected for the single lot, and the contract was signed on 21 July 2026. The contract runs from 3 August 2026 to 2 August 2027, with one permitted 12-month extension, allowing a maximum end date of 2 August 2028. Its value is £116,000 excluding VAT and £139,200 including VAT. The award covers services delivered in Blackburn. The selected supplier is Correct Flow Eng Ltd, an SME based in Morecambe. The procurement is below threshold, and the tender is recorded as complete.

This award demonstrates a local authority requirement for a combined swimming-pool support service: chemical supply, monthly microbiological testing and pool plant maintenance. A credible competitor for similar work would need dependable chemical procurement and delivery, competent water-quality testing, and the technical capability to inspect, service and maintain pool plant. The requirement favours suppliers able to coordinate recurring compliance-related testing with planned and responsive engineering support, rather than providers offering only one element. Relevant businesses may include specialist pool-maintenance contractors, water-treatment companies with testing capability, and engineering firms experienced in leisure-facility plant. The incumbent is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large national contractor. Strong operational coordination and evidence of reliable service delivery would be important when this buyer next tests the market.
