Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the STA Drain Clearing project has been recently completed by University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust, based in Bristol, United Kingdom. The trust operates within the public authority central government category and sought services for drainage clearance. This procurement, initiated as a direct award due to urgency and limited competitive bids, was finalised with the award pending. Although competitive pricing was sought, only two quotes were received despite initial interest. The process is currently in the award stage, with key dates including a contract period from the 1st of April 2026 to the 31st of March 2029, and a scheduled signature due by the 2nd of March 2026.

This contract offers considerable opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in drainage system maintenance and repair services. The urgent requirement highlights the demand within the drainage sector, suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. P.C.M. Drainage, an SME based in Caerphilly, has been identified as the supplier. Businesses well-versed in wastewater-plant repair and maintenance, or those offering innovative drainage solutions, could find this an advantageous portfolio addition for similar future projects. The focus on direct and competitive pricing further signifies potential growth avenues for businesses offering cost-effective services.
