UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The City of London commissioned ground utilities and drainage surveying services at CLFS. The work comprised a PAS 128 below-ground utilities survey together with a CCTV survey of drainage systems. This is a specialist surveying requirement supporting the investigation and recording of buried utility infrastructure and drainage assets. The buyer is The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London, a sub-central public authority. The relevant service category is surveying services (CPV 71355000). Delivery is associated with CLFS, while the buyer’s address is in the City of London. Suppliers active in utility detection, underground asset mapping, drainage inspection and site-based surveying would recognise this as a focused technical services requirement rather than construction or routine facilities management.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Plowman Craven Limited. It used a below-threshold limited competition, with one completed lot. The award was made on 8 July 2026 and the contract was signed on that date. The contract runs from 15 July 2026 to 12 August 2026. Its gross value is £67,080. The contract is active, as is the award. The published outcome identifies Plowman Craven Limited as the supplier for the surveying services. The process therefore records a completed, single-supplier purchase for a defined survey package, rather than a framework or multi-lot programme. The procurement category is services, and the requirement was below the applicable threshold.

This award demonstrates demand from the City of London for combined below-ground utility and drainage investigation delivered as one specialist service package. Suppliers would need credible PAS 128 capability for locating, surveying and recording buried utilities, alongside experience using CCTV to inspect and assess drainage systems. Strong candidates would be able to coordinate both disciplines, plan site work efficiently and produce technically reliable survey outputs suitable for the buyer’s asset and infrastructure decisions. Relevant surveying equipment, competent field teams, data-management processes and quality assurance would be important differentiators. The selected supplier was a large business, indicating that the requirement can suit an established surveying consultancy or technical contractor with sufficient capacity for a concentrated assignment and experience working for public authorities.
