Summary of the contracting process

South Gloucestershire Council has initiated the "Chipping Sodbury Rainwater Management Initiative 2026," a project aimed at enhancing wastewater system performance and reducing flood risks in Chipping Sodbury through tailored Surface Water Attenuation/Separation interventions. This procurement process has been completed, with Our Rainwater Limited being awarded the contract. The procurement method employed was a direct award, as the supplier provides a specialised and integrated solution that no other supplier could match. Key activities are scheduled from 4th June 2026, with the potential for contract modifications based on funding and participation levels. Located in Bristol, the council is keen on improving environmental sustainability, and the initiative falls under the goods and works categories, with final costs and impacts subject to a variety of market and environmental risks.

The Chipping Sodbury initiative represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in environmental management solutions, particularly those offering niche services in integrated rainwater management. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the sector could benefit from similar procurement processes, given the council's focus on specialised services. Such initiatives not only provide direct contract opportunities but can also enable businesses to demonstrate their unique offerings and expand their presence in the public sector. Moreover, there is potential for contract renewal or extension, contingent on additional funding and service uptake, paving the way for long-term partnerships and further business growth opportunities.

Notice Title

Chipping Sodbury Rainwater Management Initiative 2026

Notice Description

This project aims to reduce surface water runoff into highway, combined and foul sewers, enhance wastewater system performance, and reduce the impact of flood risks in Chipping Sodbury through targeted property-scale Surface Water Attenuation/Separation (SWAS) interventions.

Procurement Information

The supplier offers a niche end-to-end rainwater management solution involving a specialist integrated service that SGC's market review confirmed could not be offered by another supplier on a comparable basis; other suppliers offer parts of the solution, but not a similar fully integrated service with the same unique combination of expertise required.
