Acquisition of Services for the Development of Legionella Prevention and Control Plans in Municipal Buildings

This tender seeks the acquisition of specialized services for the development of comprehensive Legionella prevention and control plans. The focus is specifically on municipal buildings, which may include administrative offices, public facilities, cultural centers, and other structures managed by the local government. Legionella bacteria can cause Legionnaires' disease, a severe form of pneumonia, and its proliferation is often linked to water systems, particularly cooling towers, hot and cold water systems, and decorative fountains. The service provider will be responsible for conducting thorough risk assessments within each designated municipal building to identify potential sources and pathways for Legionella contamination. Based on these assessments, the provider will develop detailed prevention and control plans. These plans will outline specific measures, procedures, and monitoring protocols to mitigate the risk of Legionella growth and transmission. This may include recommendations for water system maintenance, temperature control, disinfection strategies, and regular testing. The objective is to ensure public health and safety by proactively managing the risks associated with Legionella in municipal properties. Bidders must possess expertise in public health, environmental hygiene, and Legionella risk management, with a proven track record in developing similar plans for public sector clients.
