Swimming Pool Chemicals - 1222
Framework Description
YPO's Swimming Pool Chemicals framework (1222) is a direct award framework for swimming pool chemicals and testing kits throughout the UK. Customers can direct award to obtain water testing equipment and the sanitising and cleaning chemicals pools need. It is a single-lot framework running until 25 January 2028, with no extension, and applications are closed.
Context & Use Case
Leisure centres, schools and local authorities that operate pools use 1222 to keep water treatment chemicals and testing kits in stock. Direct award means a pool manager can order from an appointed supplier without running a competition, which matters when chemical stocks run low or a water test shows a problem that needs treating quickly.
Scope of Services
Swimming pool water treatment chemicals Specialist water testing equipment and kits Sanitising chemicals Cleaning chemicals for pool environments
Lots
Single lot
Who Can Apply
Suppliers of pool water treatment chemicals and testing equipment with UK-wide delivery suit 1222. Applications are closed, so new suppliers cannot join until it is re-tendered, likely ahead of 25 January 2028.
Buyer Benefits
Pool water quality is a health and safety issue, so operators need reliable supply and accurate testing. Direct award removes procurement delay, and dealing with suppliers already assessed for capability gives buyers confidence in the handling and delivery of hazardous chemicals.
Next Steps
Appointed suppliers should make sure leisure and school customers know they can direct award, and keep delivery information and safety data sheets current. Others should check YPO's page (https://www.ypo.co.uk/frameworks-home/900124) and prepare for the re-tender expected before 25 January 2028, with evidence of safe chemical delivery, technical support and national coverage.
