Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex Fire Authority procured environmental and waste services across its estate in East Sussex and Brighton and Hove. The work covers emptying and cleaning wastewater and other storage tanks, with tank maintenance where required, as well as related ad-hoc services that the supplier can provide. This is a specialist environmental services requirement involving drainage, tank cleaning and waste handling. The buyer is East Sussex Fire Authority, which manages the service for its fire-service estate. The published delivery-location entry says Ireland, which conflicts with the description naming East Sussex and Brighton and Hove; the stated service area is therefore unclear. Suppliers whose core work includes wastewater removal, tank cleaning and associated maintenance are closest to the requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Environmental Waste Management Ltd. The authority ran an open competition below the relevant threshold; five bids were recorded. The award was dated 26 June 2026, and the contract was signed on 28 September 2026. The awarded value is £82,503 excluding VAT (£99,003.60 including VAT). The contract period is recorded as 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with two possible 12-month renewals, extending the maximum period to 30 September 2031. The tender was divided into one lot. Evaluation weighted price at 50%, quality at 40% and social value at 10%.

This award shows a recurring requirement for a supplier able to empty and clean wastewater and other storage tanks across a fire authority estate, undertake tank maintenance when needed, and respond to related ad-hoc environmental service needs. A credible competitor would need practical capability in wastewater removal, drainage and tank cleaning, with the equipment, trained staff and operational capacity to serve sites across East Sussex and Brighton and Hove. Experience managing environmental and waste services across multiple locations would be relevant, as would the ability to demonstrate service quality and social value alongside competitive pricing. The successful supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, and all five recorded final-stage bids were from SMEs, indicating that businesses of this scale competed for the work.}
