Summary of the contracting process

The Carmarthenshire County Council has completed a procurement process under a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Drainage Investigations and CCTV Surveys, focused on sewage, refuse, cleaning, and environmental services. The procurement covered contracts active from 1st July 2025 to 30th September 2025. The DPS involved a two-stage process, with contractors invited to bid for specific contracts following pre-qualification, using the selective procurement method. The main scope, requiring services in the Carmarthenshire region (UKL14), particularly involved statutory surveys under the Flood and Water Management Act 2010 and the Highways Act 1980. The awarded contracts, focusing on the Llanelli area including Burry Port and Kidwelly, as well as for highway connectivity surveys, were signed in August 2025.

This tender represents a strategic opportunity for businesses in the sewage, cleaning, and environmental services sector, particularly those with capabilities in technical inspection, testing, and sewer survey. Engaging in this dynamic procurement process could significantly aid in business growth, providing contractors with continuous opportunities to bid for various projects. Companies with expertise in CCTV drainage system surveys, emergency incident response, and highway drainage asset management are well-suited to compete. The awarded contractor, Draintech Surveys Ltd, demonstrates the fruitful business potential available for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) in this industry.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Carmarthenshire County Council is seeking suitably qualified and experienced contractors to undertake drainage surveys using specialist equipment and cameras that pass through or zoom up culverts and pipes to record their condition and location. The surveys will be procured by mini-competition under a Dynamic Purchasing System ('DPS') arrangement. The surveys are required as part of the Authority's statutory duties under the Flood and Water Management Act 2010, the Highways Act (1980) and for Asset Management purposes. The requirement is purely for surveys, not repairs and the work programme is currently divided into four work areas namely: - Surveys of known drainage systems - Surveys of high-risk areas and unknown and uncharted systems - Emergency incident response (could be known or unknown drainage systems) - Highway Drainage Asset Connectivity and Condition Surveys Additional information: A Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) is a two-stage process. In the initial setup stage, all Bidders who meet the selection criteria and are not excluded will be admitted to the DPS. There is no limit on the number of Bidders that may join a DPS. Individual contracts are awarded during the second stage. In this stage, the Council invites all suppliers on the DPS to bid for the specific contract.
