Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham City Council bought a framework for miscellaneous drainage, flood defence and related civil and water engineering works across Birmingham. The scope covers routine and emergency maintenance of watercourse grills and highway culverts; building and repairing flood defences, drainage systems, retaining structures and watercourse linings; flood resilience and small flood schemes; sustainable drainage; dredging, earthworks and environmental works; and repairs to drains, gullies and manholes. It also includes channel and embankment excavation, pavement and footway work, traffic and pedestrian management, de-watering, flow diversion, utility protection, fencing, landscaping and work in confined spaces. Services may involve out-of-hours response, including sandbag provision during flood events. The framework is intended to improve the local environment and benefit residents and the wider community.

The procurement is complete and the framework was awarded to Haystoun Construction Ltd, R & C Williams Limited and R W Services Contractors Limited. The award was made on 17 September 2026, and the contract was signed on 1 October 2026. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2030. Its stated value is £4.8 million excluding VAT (£5.76 million including VAT); this is the framework value, not a stated value for each supplier. One lot was evaluated on price (50%), quality (30%) and social value (20%). The Council used an open procedure to establish a closed framework with up to four suppliers. Individual works may be called off in rank order without further competition, or through a further competition among framework suppliers.

This award shows demand from Birmingham City Council for suppliers able to deliver a broad range of drainage, flood management and water engineering work through a multi-supplier framework. A credible competitor would need the capacity to handle planned maintenance as well as urgent call-outs, and to undertake construction, repair, excavation, dredging, environmental and landscape work across watercourses, drainage assets and flood defences. The scope also calls for safe delivery in confined spaces and environmentally sensitive areas, management of traffic and pedestrians, protection of underground utilities, and the ability to work outside normal hours during flood events. Suppliers need to compete on both quality and price, while demonstrating social value. The three selected suppliers were small and medium-sized businesses, showing that this requirement was delivered by firms of that scale.

Notice Information

Notice Title

P2326 - Micellaneous Drainage Works Framework

Notice Description

A framework for the provision of miscellaneous drainage works. The framework will commence in October 2026 and will be in place for a period of 4 years. Contracts called-off from the framework may extend beyond the expiry date of the framework. Calling-off from the Framework - There are two routes which the Council can utilise to award Call-Off Contracts for the works required, either calling-off without competition or by conducting a further competition. - Call-off without competition - The provider ranked first will be approached to confirm if they are able to meet the Council's timescales and confirm their costs to deliver the works. If they are able to do so, they will be awarded the Call-Off Contract. If they cannot fulfil the requirement the provider ranked second may then be approached and so on. The costs given must be based on the prices submitted as part of the provider's Tender when they joined the framework. - Further competition - All the providers of the framework will be invited to tender for the works. During a further competition, providers may submit more competitive pricing than the pricing submitted as part of the provider's Tender when they joined the framework. Overview of the Opportunity The Council has adopted the Infrastructure Conditions of Contract Measurement Version 2011 based on the ICE Conditions of Contract 7th Edition together with amendments included (004 attached) within that document by the Council for the purposes of this Framework Agreement.
