Summary of the contracting process

South Gloucestershire Council has completed a direct award procurement process for the "Chipping Sodbury Rainwater Management Initiative 2026", aimed at addressing surface water runoff and enhancing wastewater systems to mitigate flood risks in Chipping Sodbury. This initiative, falling under the goods and works industry category, highlights a strategically chosen supplier, Our Rainwater Limited, known for their integrated rainwater management solutions. The award process was enacted under UKPGA 2023/54 legal basis, and the contract is expected to commence on 4th June 2026, with potential extensions up to 2028. The procurement focused on small and medium enterprises (SMEs), offering opportunities for niche contractors skilled in environmental and drainage works within the UKK12 (Bristol) region.

This project opens avenues for SMEs in the environmental services sector, particularly those specialising in water management and consultancy. The contract's provisions for potential extensions, dependent on funding and service uptake, allow for further business engagement and growth. As the tender requires a unique blend of expertise, firms with capabilities in storm-water piping, water tank supply, and drainage construction will find this a lucrative opportunity. Additionally, the inclusion of options for ongoing monitoring services may interest technology firms offering environmental analytics and software services, creating diverse business prospects in the rainwater management domain.

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.

Cost and Funding Risks: Final costs may vary depending on feasibility outcomes and system choices. Costs will be confirmed after scoping and modelling, with approvals required before delivery. Funding is currently fixed but may change, allowing scope or term adjustments. 3. Unexpected/exceptional Inflation and Price Risks: Market prices may increase due to global economic or political factors. Significant cost volatility may require contract adjustments beyond agreed pricing mechanisms. Contract Modifications: The contract may be modified in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 if these risks materialise.",
