Summary of the contracting process

Broads (2006) Internal Drainage Board procured the design, manufacture, fabrication, supply and delivery of suspended bowl pumps for the Mautby Water Level Management Improvements project in the United Kingdom. The requirement includes pump design and testing, together with information for the project Health and Safety File and Operations and Maintenance Manual. An option covers the design and supply of pumps for a second pumping station at Stokesby, subject to the client’s decision and available funding. The Water Management Alliance oversees the procurement for the Board, with Turner & Townsend providing procurement advice. This is a goods procurement for pumping equipment and associated technical deliverables, rather than a general construction or maintenance service.

The procurement has reached the award stage. It used an open competitive flexible procedure, with initial tenders assessed against pass/fail economic and technical requirements before price and quality evaluation; negotiation and best-and-final-offer stages could also be used. Three bids reached the final stage, all from SMEs. The single lot had an estimated value of £1,300,000 excluding VAT (£1,560,000 including VAT). Aquatic Control Engineering Limited was selected on 31 July 2026 for £857,550 excluding VAT (£1,029,060 including VAT). The awarded contract period is 14 August 2026 to 13 August 2027, with a possible extension to 13 August 2028. The wider lot period runs from 11 August 2026 to 12 February 2030, with a maximum extent to 12 February 2032, reflecting the additional-site option. Price carried 30% and quality 70%, covering design, efficiency, electricity, maintenance and programme.

This requirement indicates demand for specialist pump suppliers able to design, manufacture, test and deliver suspended bowl pumping equipment for water-level management infrastructure. A credible future competitor would need strong technical and economic capacity, with evidence that its pumps operate efficiently across the required working range and minimise electricity and inspection and maintenance costs. The evaluation also valued a clear pump outline design, a deliverable programme and complete operational and safety documentation. Suppliers should therefore be able to support design assurance, testing, installation-related information and long-term operational understanding, not just manufacture equipment. The procurement was suitable for SMEs, and the selected supplier relied on Pentair as an associated pump supplier, showing that a capable specialist may compete through an established supply-chain relationship.
