Summary of the contracting process

East Suffolk Services Limited procured septic tank waste services for East Suffolk Council and commercial customers on its behalf. The requirement covers planned and reactive collection, transport and removal of septic waste, including out-of-hours cover across the East Suffolk district. The work is a specialist environmental and waste-management service covering sewage removal, sewage disposal and cesspool or septic tank emptying. The appointed provider is expected to manage the complete service from emptying septic tanks and cesspools through to lawful transport and disposal. Delivery is within East Suffolk, serving both public-sector and commercial premises. This is a single-service requirement rather than a supply of equipment or construction works, and is most relevant to operators with appropriate waste-handling vehicles, facilities and operational coverage.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded following an open procedure. Six bids were received, including four from SMEs. Biomarsh Environmental Ltd was awarded the contract on 5 June 2026. The award value is recorded as £270,735 gross. The signed contract is active, valued at £324,882 gross (£270,735 excluding tax), and was signed on 6 July 2026. Its contract period runs from 6 July 2026 to 5 July 2028, with an optional extension up to 5 July 2029, subject to the tender terms. Evaluation weighted quality at 60% and price at 40%. The tender submission deadline was 13 April 2026, and the enquiry deadline was 30 March 2026.

This award demonstrates established demand from East Suffolk Services Limited for a combined septic-tank emptying, sewage collection, transport and disposal service supporting both council and commercial customers. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need reliable waste tankering and emptying operations, suitable transport capacity, lawful arrangements for sewage disposal, and the ability to coordinate planned work with reactive call-outs. Out-of-hours coverage across the East Suffolk district is a material operational requirement, so suppliers need sufficient staffing, vehicles and response resilience rather than only disposal capacity. The competition also shows that smaller businesses can reach the final stage, with four SMEs among the six final-stage bidders. Environmental waste specialists with public-sector and commercial service experience would be well placed.
