Summary of the contracting process

Northamptonshire Partnership Homes (NPH), a subsidiary of West Northamptonshire Council, has awarded a tender for drainage maintenance and reactive minor works to DALROD (UK) Ltd. This contract, valued at £1,320,000 gross, will involve servicing approximately 11,500 homes in and around Northampton. The award follows an open procurement method competition, below the threshold, reflecting a successful engagement with small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The contract commences on 13th April 2026 and may be extended beyond its initial two-year period until April 2030, contingent upon performance. This tender falls under the industry category of drainage works, primarily delivered within the UKF24 region.

This opportunity brings significant potential for business growth, especially for those specialising in drainage works. As the market continues to seek experienced companies capable of handling both general maintenance and reactive repairs, businesses in the Northampton area can expand their market presence through engagement with NPH. SMEs with expertise in drainage maintenance will find this an apt occasion to leverage their skills, while companies large or small that can comply with quality and price performance criteria will be well-placed to compete in future procurements as outlined by NPH's ongoing strategic efforts. Engaging in early market dialogue with NPH is encouraged to remain informed about upcoming contract opportunities and further tender processes.
