Summary of the contracting process

The District Council of Folkestone and Hythe, located in Folkestone, United Kingdom, conducted a procurement process for a project titled "Waste Water Works Survey." This project falls under the services category in the industry, specifically machinery-inspection services and consulting services for water-supply and waste consultancy, with a focus on sewage equipment and sites management. The procurement method used was an open, below-threshold competition. Initially, the tender received three bids, and Willow Pumps Limited, an SME from Macclesfield, was awarded the contract. The contract commenced on 24 November 2025, concluding on 31 August 2026, with an option for a three-month extension, valued at £72,900 excluding VAT.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs specialising in consulting and physical survey services in the water management sector. Businesses with expertise in the maintenance and inspection of sewage systems would be highly adept at fulfilling the contract requirements. As this project involves assessing and planning the refurbishment of wastewater systems over a decade, companies with a long-term operational view and experience in sustainable infrastructure management could gain considerable benefits from participating in future tenders related to the Council's ongoing infrastructure projects.
