The work covers regular monitoring of water temperatures, inspections and related tasks at sites nominated by the council, together with call-outs and reactive repairs to faults. Services must meet the requirements of HSE ACOP L8 and Health and Safety Guidance 274, and comply with applicable British and European Standards. The requirement is divided geographically into two contracts: one for premises in the north of the county and one for premises in the south. The council will identify the sites and issue instructions through its representative or Legionella Control Officer. This is a technical inspection and testing services opportunity for providers able to deliver scheduled compliance work across multiple council premises. The process has reached tender: the council invited offers through a selective competitive flexible procedure. Participation is restricted to suppliers that have joined the Dynamic Market for Legionella Services and signed its terms of use. Questions could be submitted until 8 September 2026 at 10:00, and tenders were due through Oracle Fusion by 15 September 2026 at 12:00. The intended award period ends on 25 September 2026 at 23:59. Contracts are planned from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. There are two lots: North, covering 315 sites and valued at £990,000 excluding VAT (£1,188,000 including VAT); and South, covering 306 sites and valued at £765,000 excluding VAT (£918,000 including VAT). A supplier may win only one lot. Evaluation is quality 50%, price 40% and social value 10%. This opportunity suits specialist legionella and water-safety service providers with the operational capability to monitor water temperatures, carry out inspections, undertake related compliance tasks and respond to call-outs and reactive faults. Suppliers must be able to work to HSE ACOP L8, HSG 274 and applicable British and European Standards, following site instructions from the council’s representative or Legionella Control Officer. The requirement will suit businesses with established field teams, scheduling and reporting processes, and sufficient geographic coverage to service a large number of premises in either the northern or southern area of Lancashire. Because participation is limited to members of the Dynamic Market for Legionella Services, eligible businesses must already have joined that market and signed its terms of use. Suppliers should also be prepared to demonstrate strong service quality and social value. ## Notice The provision of Water Temperature Monitoring/Inspections has been split geographically across two contracts.
