Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "PAN3393 - Gully Cleansing Service" has been managed by Leicester City Council, a sub-central government public authority based in Leicester. This contract, valued at £799,489.00 without VAT, was awarded on 25th October 2025 for services related to gully cleaning and emptying, with the start date of 25th October 2025. The open procedure method was utilised for the procurement, focusing on highway drainage maintenance across Leicester to prevent surface water flooding. The contract period extends until 24th October 2027, with possible renewal options contributing an additional two years. The tender was completed and awarded to Drain Line Southern Ltd, a large-scale business based in Brighton.

This tender presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental and drainage services, particularly those with a substantial infrastructure to manage large-scale projects. Companies interested in expanding their operations into public sector contracts can view this as a stepping stone, especially if they can demonstrate similar capabilities in risk-based drainage management and have experience working collaboratively with local government organisations. The recurring nature of such contracts, combined with Leicester City Council's commitment to maintaining critical infrastructure, underscores long-term business development possibilities within this sector.
