Summary of the contracting process

Newcastle City Council procured drainage services covering sewage services, gully cleaning and emptying. The requirement is divided between residential properties and public buildings, and school sites throughout Newcastle upon Tyne. The work is delivered in Newcastle upon Tyne for the Council. It is a services contract under a ranked framework arrangement, intended to support drainage maintenance and response across Council property and school locations. The residential and public-building requirement covers a broad estate, while the school-sites requirement focuses on education premises across the city. This opportunity is therefore relevant to drainage contractors able to provide planned and responsive sewage, drainage and gully-cleaning services for public-sector buildings and sites, rather than suppliers offering general facilities management without specialist drainage capability.

The procurement has been awarded and both resulting contracts are active. An open procedure was used. Lot 1, Residential Properties and Public Buildings, was awarded on 4 August 2026 to ACAS Pumps Ltd, EnviRod Ltd, Metro Rod Ltd and BioMarsh Environmental Ltd, at £3,500,000 excluding VAT (£4,200,000 including VAT). The contract was signed on 25 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028, with two 12-month extension options to 31 August 2030. Lot 2, School Sites throughout Newcastle upon Tyne, was awarded on 4 August 2026 to EnviRod Ltd, ACAS Pumps Ltd, BioMarsh Environmental Ltd and Dalrod (UK) Ltd, at £500,000 excluding VAT (£600,000 including VAT). It was signed on 26 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 1 September 2028, with extensions to 31 August 2030. Each lot received 60% quality and 40% price weighting.

This award demonstrates established demand from Newcastle City Council for specialist drainage support across both its property estate and school sites. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in sewage services, gully cleaning and emptying, and the capacity to serve multiple locations reliably. The successful supplier profile includes small and medium-sized drainage businesses, showing that the requirement can be delivered by focused specialists rather than only national general-service contractors. The framework is ranked and supports several appointed suppliers, so suppliers would need strong operational organisation, dependable response arrangements and the ability to work within a multi-provider model. Performance expectations include customer satisfaction, urgent repairs and completing work at the first visit, making service quality and responsive field delivery central to competitiveness.
