Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Epping Forest District Council has awarded a contract for the "Annual Maintenance of Sewage Treatment Works and Pumping Stations," classified under sewage services, to BINDER LIMITED. The procurement process was conducted using an open procedure below threshold, with the contract period starting on 2nd October 2021 and concluding on 1st April 2026. This procurement opportunity was initially advertised with a tender period closing on 1st June 2021. Located in Epping, England, the project aligns with the local industry category, inviting involvement in services within postal code CM16 4BZ. The award was announced actively on 9th August 2021, and it was most recently updated on 19th February 2026.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in sewage services, particularly those equipped to handle sizeable maintenance operations. Although the procurement method facilitated an open competition, the contract was ultimately awarded to a large supplier, perhaps indicating that larger entities or those with substantial capacity may be better suited to participate in similar future contracts. While this tender may not have prioritised small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), it showcases the potential for established businesses to expand their portfolios through local government contracts, reinforcing business presence in critical infrastructure maintenance sectors. Moreover, businesses that maintain strong operational capabilities in similar geographic and industrial contexts might find prospective contracts advantageous for further development.
