Summary of the contracting process

Newcastle City Council is procuring drainage services for two areas in Newcastle upon Tyne. The work covers sewage services, including gully cleaning and emptying, for residential properties, public buildings and school sites. Lot 1 covers residential properties and public buildings, while Lot 2 covers school sites throughout Newcastle upon Tyne. The requirement is a council-wide operational drainage service delivered across the city. It is a services procurement and forms a closed framework for appointed drainage contractors. The framework is intended to support recurring requirements at council-managed properties and schools, with work allocated through further competition among the appointed suppliers.

The procurement has reached award stage. An open procedure was used, with quality weighted at 60% and price at 40%. Four suppliers were selected for each lot. Lot 1 was awarded to ACAS Pumps Ltd, Envirorod Limited, Metro Rod Limited and Biomarsh Environmental Ltd at an awarded value of £3.5 million excluding VAT (£4.2 million gross). Lot 2 was awarded to Envirorod Limited, ACAS Pumps Ltd, Biomarsh Environmental Ltd and Dalrod (UK) Limited at £500,000 excluding VAT (£600,000 gross). Both awards were made on 4 August 2026. The contract period is 24 August 2026 to 23 August 2028, with two possible 12-month extensions to 23 August 2030. The framework allows further competition among up to four participants per lot, and signature was scheduled for 20 August 2026.

This procurement shows established demand from Newcastle City Council for planned and responsive drainage work across residential properties, public buildings and schools. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need practical capability in sewage services, gully cleaning and emptying, and the capacity to operate across Newcastle upon Tyne. The award pattern indicates that small and medium-sized enterprises can compete, including through specialist or regional delivery models. Credibility would depend on demonstrating service quality, because quality carried greater weight than price in evaluation, alongside competitive pricing. Experience of managing recurring drainage work for varied public-sector premises would be relevant, as would the operational capacity to participate in a multi-supplier framework where work is allocated through further competition.
