Summary of the contracting process

King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust procured drainage maintenance services for its NHS sites in London. The requirement covers planned preventative maintenance, reactive repairs and remedial work, including blocked drains and toilets, drain jetting, drain relining, descaling, CCTV surveys and drain repairs. The work is a maintenance and repair service (CPV 50000000), delivered across the Trust’s sites in the UK. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. It concerns operational drainage infrastructure, combining scheduled servicing with responsive attendance when drainage failures or other maintenance needs arise.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through an open procedure. One lot was evaluated on technical quality at 60%, commercial cost at 30% and social value at 10%. Thirteen bids were received, with 10 reaching the final stage. First Choice Drainage Solutions Ltd was awarded the requirement on 25 February 2026 for £1,256,732 gross (£1,256,732? Wait net 1,256,732; gross 1,508,082) and the active contract was signed on 21 May 2026 for £1,256,735.42 net, £1,508,082 gross. The contract runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2029, with optional one-year extensions for up to two years, giving a maximum end date of 31 May 2031. The award record also shows a 1 April 2026 start and 31 March 2029 end for the same supplier and lot.

This award demonstrates established NHS demand for a single drainage maintenance provider able to combine planned preventative maintenance with reactive repairs across multiple healthcare sites. A credible competitor would need practical capability in drain jetting, unblocking toilets and drains, descaling, relining, CCTV surveying and drainage repair, together with the capacity to respond to different priority levels. The evaluation placed greatest emphasis on technical delivery, including scope understanding, parts and materials, remedial, reactive and backlog works, record keeping and response times. Evidence of reliable service control, accurate maintenance records, suitable materials and rapid mobilisation would therefore strengthen a future submission. Social value formed part of the evaluation, alongside commercial cost.
