Summary of the contracting process

Stroud District Council procured dewatering works for its M5 Crossing Project in Stroud. The work covers installing pumps and associated equipment, attending site while dewatering is under way, relocating pumps as the project moves through its phases, routine maintenance, removal when the work is complete, and responding to pump faults or failures. This is a site-based construction and water-management requirement rather than a supply-only purchase: it combines pump provision with ongoing attendance and support. Delivery is in the Stroud area of Gloucestershire. The requirement was arranged as a single lot, with the Council as buyer.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Pump Supplies Limited. The Council used a below-threshold open competition, with bids assessed on quality and price. The tender estimate was £75,000 excluding VAT (£90,000 including VAT); the resulting contract is valued at £149,310.80 excluding VAT (£179,172.96 including VAT). The contract was signed on 29 July 2026 and runs from 29 July 2026 to 31 December 2027. The tender period closed on 20 April 2026, and questions were due by 8 April 2026. The contract may be extended only if the project is delayed; the stated extension would not increase its duration. The single lot was marked suitable for SMEs.

This award shows demand from Stroud District Council for a contractor able to deliver dewatering as an integrated site service: supplying and installing pumps, moving them as construction phases change, maintaining them, attending site, troubleshooting failures and removing equipment at completion. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need suitable pump capacity, practical installation and relocation capability, and staff able to provide reliable attendance and maintenance throughout a changing works programme. The successful supplier is an SME, and the tender was marked suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller specialist firms can compete when they can demonstrate both technical quality and competitive pricing. The buying route was an open competition, and evaluation considered quality as well as price, so evidence of dependable delivery and responsive site support would matter alongside cost.
