Summary of the contracting process

Cyngor Sir Ceredigion County Council is procuring highway gully cleansing services for Ceredigion. The requirement covers cleansing drainage gullies and related sewer, sanitation and surface-water pollution drainage services, using gully-emptying equipment. Work is associated with the council’s highway network and may involve the supply and operation of one or more suitable units, with the required hire time varying according to service needs. The council is the buying organisation and is based in Aberaeron. This is a public-sector services requirement rather than a construction project or supply-only opportunity. Relevant businesses are likely to provide specialist highway drainage, gully cleansing, sewer cleaning or environmental cleaning services, with the equipment and operational capability to deliver work across Ceredigion.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through an open procedure. Wales Environmental Ltd was selected on 17 July 2026, subject to a standstill period ending on 28 July 2026. The award is valued at £1,214,100 excluding VAT and £1,456,920 including VAT. The contract period is scheduled to run from 3 August 2026 to 30 June 2029, with an extension option taking the maximum end date to 30 June 2031. The original tender deadline was 9 June 2026 at 12:00, and the enquiry deadline was 2 June 2026 at 12:00. Two bids were received, both from SMEs. Evaluation weighted price at 60% and technical quality at 40%.

This award demonstrates established demand from Ceredigion County Council for specialist highway gully cleansing delivered through an above-threshold open competition. A credible future competitor would need relevant experience, suitable specialist equipment and qualified personnel, together with sufficient capacity and throughput to respond to changing service requirements. The selection requirements also covered economic standing, environmental compliance and management, and health and safety. The contract allows for demand to increase during extreme weather, so operational resilience and the ability to scale delivery are important. Suppliers should also be able to manage waste lawfully and maintain the environmental permits needed for storage or disposal, since permit problems could require alternative arrangements. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.
