Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Gentoo Group, a sub-central public authority based in Sunderland, United Kingdom, focused on acquiring drainage services. This initiative is aimed at supporting the Direct Labour Organisation predominantly in the Sunderland/Wearside area, though it also includes a limited number of properties elsewhere in the North East region. The procurement was structured through a ranked framework within a limited competition process, and the contract for these services was awarded on 1st September 2025. The procurement belongs to the environmental services category, with Gentoo Group having established a framework agreement that can be extended by two additional years, potentially reaching a total value of £200,000.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for SMEs specialising in environmental and drainage services. It provides a stable, recurring income source through a long-term partnership within the public sector, with initial contracts spanning until 2027 and possible extensions. Companies like Dalrod UK, Envirorod Limited, and Clarkes Plumbing Limited, which have been awarded the contract, exemplify the type of SMEs ideally positioned to benefit from such opportunities. The framework's design allows companies to plan long-term business strategies while providing essential infrastructure services in the UK, fostering a collaborative environment for community development and business expansion.
