Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioners for Norfolk and Suffolk bought drainage maintenance and sewer-cleaning services for both police forces. The work covers Norfolk and Suffolk, with delivery locations also recorded across Cambridgeshire and Essex. The procurement was divided into two geographic lots: Norfolk and Suffolk. The requirement concerns maintaining drainage systems and cleaning sewers for the constabularies.

The procurement is complete and both lots have been awarded through an open competition. Simpsons Anglia Ltd received the Norfolk lot on 15 December 2025, valued at £224,474.90 including VAT. Bowyer trading as DYNO-ROD received the Suffolk lot on 29 September 2026, valued at £230,112.94 including VAT. Each contract is initially for two years, with three optional 12-month extensions. The stated contract period for the Norfolk award runs from 5 January 2026 to 4 January 2028, and for Suffolk from 13 October 2026 to 12 October 2028; the maximum period including extensions runs to January 2031 and September 2031 respectively. Four bids were received for each lot, all from SMEs. The evaluation criteria and selection requirements are referred to in the tender documents.

This procurement demonstrates repeat public-sector demand for drainage maintenance and sewer cleaning across police estates in Norfolk and Suffolk, with operational coverage extending across neighbouring counties. A credible competitor would need the capacity to service drainage systems across a broad geographic area and deliver ongoing sewer-cleaning work for police facilities. The awards were made to two small and medium-sized suppliers, and all four final-stage bidders for each lot were SMEs, showing that businesses of this scale competed successfully. Suppliers should be prepared to compete for a defined county-based lot and to meet the buyer’s selection and evaluation requirements. The contract structure includes possible extensions, so reliable service delivery over a sustained period is central to the requirement.
