## Summary

Birmingham City Council is procuring water maintenance services for Victoria, Chamberlain and Centenary fountains in Birmingham city centre. The work covers treatment and maintenance of the fountains’ water under an ongoing maintenance regime, with the aim of keeping them clean and protecting the public from Legionella bacteria and other water-related diseases. The requirement sits within repair and maintenance services (CPV 50800000) and is a public-sector services contract. It will suit businesses that can maintain public fountains, manage treated water systems and carry out routine cleaning and water-quality controls in an urban environment. Delivery is at the three named city-centre fountains in Birmingham.

The procurement reached tender: Birmingham City Council invited quotations through an open, below-threshold competition. Bids must be submitted electronically through the Council’s In-tend e-tendering system, for which registration is free. The deadline for enquiries was 29 September 2026 at noon, and the quotation deadline is 6 October 2026 at noon. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2030. The stated total value is £170,000 excluding VAT and £204,000 including VAT. There is one lot. Evaluation is weighted 60% to price and 40% to quality, with full criteria in the procurement documents.

This opportunity is suited to specialist water-treatment, fountain-maintenance and environmental-services contractors able to provide a sustained maintenance regime across three public fountains. Suppliers should be capable of keeping fountain water clean and managing risks associated with Legionella and other water-related diseases, while meeting the Council’s duty of care and relevant public-health and environmental requirements. The work is appropriate for a contractor with practical experience maintaining water features or similar treated-water systems in a public setting, together with the staff, equipment and operational capacity to support several sites over a multi-year service period. Quality will have a substantial bearing on the award alongside price, so bidders should demonstrate a reliable approach to service delivery and water safety.
