Summary of the contracting process

Work is organised into regional lots across England, supporting programmes including Network Rail CP7, the TransPennine Route Upgrade, Peel Ports and other rail and infrastructure projects. The main category is civil engineering support works, CPV 71311100.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. Expressions of interest and tender information were requested by 21 July 2026 at 15:45. The resulting contract is scheduled to run from 14 August 2026 to 11 August 2028. Its estimated value is £500,000 to £1,000,000, in GBP. The framework is divided into regional lots, and suppliers may bid for one or multiple regions. Selection considers equipment and vehicle availability, operational capacity, response capability, local presence, mobilisation times, and the ability to deliver planned and reactive services. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This opportunity suits experienced drainage maintenance contractors, civil engineering subcontractors and regional specialists able to support infrastructure work in England. Strong bidders will have proven experience in CCTV drainage surveys, inspection, cleaning, sewer maintenance, catch-pit and chamber work, over-pumping, temporary bypasses and emergency response. They need trained operatives, specialist drainage equipment and vehicles, and the capacity to provide planned work alongside rapid or 24/7 call-outs where required. The requirement favours suppliers with local operational coverage, short mobilisation times and experience working in live, constrained or high-risk environments such as rail, highways and other infrastructure sites. Businesses should be able to maintain high health, safety, environmental and quality standards and produce accurate CCTV outputs, defect classifications, asset-condition assessments and professional survey reports. SMEs and regional drainage contractors are specifically encouraged to compete.
