This contract, aimed at maintaining the borough's considerable highway drainage infrastructure, encompasses both proactive and reactive maintenance services for features such as gullies, soakaways, manholes, and drainage channels. The procurement, part of the 'works' industry category, was conducted in an open competition format below the threshold. The contract was signed on 3rd July 2026 and will run until 31st March 2033, with possible extensions totaling up to two years. Covering the UKI61 region, specifically Bromley, this procurement ensures continued care for vital infrastructure components, thereby supporting the local community and economy.
