The existing contract with Complete Pools expired on the 23rd April 2025 after a 2-year contract. The contract allows for a 12-month extension, which remains a viable option.
Due to the contract having already expired, it is essential that we take immediate steps to extend the current agreement to ensure continuity of service. This extension would cover the interim period from May to July, and then continue through to April 2026, allowing sufficient time to plan and execute a full mini competition without compromising operational delivery.
Given the current lack of internal capacity to undertake a full procurement process and the critical nature of maintaining chemical supply for pool operations, it is therefore recommended that the contract with Complete Pools be extended under the existing terms. It should be noted that the current costs for the chemicals under the contract terms will also remain unless changed by ESPO.
