Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council procured mechanical gully-cleaning and mechanical road-sweeping services across the boundaries of Nottingham. The requirement was divided into two service areas: cleaning highway gullies and sweeping roads, including associated highways equipment and operations. It established a framework for the council’s highways maintenance needs, with three contractors appointed to each service area. Gully-cleaning suppliers are Drain Line Southern Limited, Biomarsh Environmental Ltd and Semilong Services Limited. Road-sweeping suppliers are J. M. Morris Plant Hire Ltd, Zinggroup Ltd and J C Balls & Sons Limited. The opportunity is relevant to businesses with operational capability in mechanical drainage cleaning, road sweeping, highways plant and associated environmental or highways services. The framework is closed and can be used by Nottingham City Council for projects within Nottingham.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 1 July 2026 following an open procedure. The gully-cleaning lot was awarded at £400,000 excluding VAT (£480,000 including VAT) to Drain Line Southern Limited, Biomarsh Environmental Ltd and Semilong Services Limited. The road-sweeping lot was awarded at £300,000 excluding VAT (£360,000 including VAT) to J. M. Morris Plant Hire Ltd, Zinggroup Ltd and J C Balls & Sons Limited. The estimated framework value was £700,000 excluding VAT, or £840,000 including VAT. Both lots were evaluated on price at 70%, quality at 15% and social value at 15%. Framework call-offs are made by direct award in ranked order using the pricing schedules. The framework contract records were signed on 29 July, 29 July, 13 August and 2 September 2026, with recorded periods ending on 2, 2, 23 August and 6 September 2030 respectively.

This award demonstrates established demand from Nottingham City Council for specialist mechanical gully cleaning and road sweeping delivered across the city. It also shows that the requirement is accessible to small and medium-sized enterprises: all six appointed suppliers are recorded as SMEs, and both lots were identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. A credible future competitor would need suitably experienced and qualified operational teams, mechanical drainage-cleaning or road-sweeping plant, and the capacity to respond to project briefs and orders. Performance expectations include regular availability to accept work, monitoring of reportable health and safety incidents under RIDDOR, and monitoring of environmental incidents. Suppliers would also need competitive pricing, demonstrable service quality and a credible social-value offer, since these collectively determine evaluation outcomes.
