Swimming Pool Chemicals
Framework Description
ESPO's Swimming Pool Chemicals framework (reference 204_24) offers a quick, simple and competitive route to buying chemicals for treating swimming pool water. A single-lot agreement, it was procured under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and is not a DPS. It runs from 14 May 2024 to 13 May 2028, with no extension option.
Context & Use Case
Leisure centres, schools with pools and local authorities use 204_24 to keep a regular supply of pool treatment chemicals without running their own tender. Chemicals are bought repeatedly through the year, so a framework with agreed terms saves pool operators from re-procuring each delivery. Documents are available to buyers through ESPO once they accept its Access & Confidentiality Agreement.

Who Can Apply
Suits suppliers and distributors of swimming pool treatment chemicals with safe delivery arrangements for public sites. Applications for 204_24 are closed, so new suppliers cannot join until ESPO re-tenders, likely ahead of 13 May 2028 as there is no extension.
Buyer Benefits
Pool operators need chemicals delivered safely and on time, as running out can close a pool. Buying from suppliers already appointed by ESPO gives schools and leisure centres agreed terms and a dependable supply without a fresh tender for every site or season.
Next Steps
Appointed suppliers should keep delivery schedules, hazardous goods handling and pricing current for buyers. Others should check the 204_24 page on espo.org and build evidence of safe delivery, COSHH documentation and public sector pool customers for the re-tender expected before 13 May 2028.
