Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "Interim London Drainage Repairs" was conducted by Southern Housing, a sub-central government public authority based in London. The successful supplier for this contract is London Drainage Facilities Limited. This procurement focused on drainage and sewer responsive maintenance, including out-of-hours emergency works and void property works, with the main procurement category being services. The contract, valued at £1,200,000 including VAT, began on 27th January 2026 and is set to end on 22nd April 2027. The process was carried out under a direct award method due to urgent unforeseen demand and compliance requirements, bypassing a competitive procedure to maintain essential services. The geographical focus of the procurement is within the UK region, ensuring continuity during a peak period following an organisational merger.

Opportunities for business growth arising from this tender are particularly significant for SMEs within the drainage and maintenance services industry. The direct award to London Drainage Facilities Limited underscores the importance of being prepared to respond swiftly to demand surges and emergency work needs. Businesses specialising in drainage works and maintenance that can offer flexible, reliable, and rapid responses to urgent requirements are well-suited to compete in similar opportunities. Suppliers with established operations or those looking to expand within the Greater London area may find such contracts beneficial for enhancing their service portfolios and gaining experience in handling critical maintenance services under public procurement arrangements.

Notice Title

Interim London Drainage Repairs

Notice Description

Interim London Drainage and Sewer Responsive Maintenance, Out of Hours Emergency Works, Void Property Works,

Procurement Information

This interim contract is required to maintain essential responsive repairs during a peak period following organisational merger. The urgency arises from unforeseen demand levels that could not reasonably have been anticipated. Failure to act would risk non-compliance with statutory obligations under the Landlord and Tenant Act and compromise resident safety. A competitive procedure is not possible within the time available; therefore, a direct award is necessary to ensure continuity of service while a fully compliant long-term procurement is completed
