Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for providing Environmental Services across the East Sussex Fire Authority's estate, including areas in East Sussex and Brighton and Hove, has concluded with an award. The buying organisation, East Sussex Fire Authority, aimed to contract services such as emptying and cleaning wastewater and storage tanks, as well as maintaining these tanks and potentially providing other required services. The process reached the award stage on 26th June 2026 and involved open competition below the threshold. The contract, valued at £82,503, was awarded to Environmental Waste Management Ltd. The contract period is scheduled from 1st August 2026 to 31st July 2029, with possible extensions into 2031.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental and waste management services. SMEs, particularly those adept at managing sewage, cleaning, and hazardous waste services, can leverage this contract to expand their portfolio in the public sector. Given that the competition saw five final-stage bids, businesses should be prepared to competitively address quality, price, and social value in their proposals. Companies operating locally in the UK, especially around the regions of East Sussex and Brighton and Hove, would be ideally positioned to deliver the required services effectively.
