Summary of the contracting process

The Guinness Partnership Limited procured drainage works across England, covering the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The requirement covered drainage CCTV surveys, inspections, maintenance and associated drainage works. It was intended to provide drainage provision and related operational services across the buyer’s housing and community assets. The procurement was categorised as drainage works. The buyer is The Guinness Partnership Limited, based in London. The requirement therefore suited contractors able to operate across a broad English geographic footprint, rather than businesses serving only one local area. The scope combined investigative services, planned and reactive maintenance, and physical works, requiring an integrated drainage capability.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, with the stated rationale being additional deliveries by the original supplier under the relevant directive conditions. The requirement was evaluated on price. The drainage works lot was recorded as cancelled, while the associated award is active. Lanes Group Ltd was awarded the contract on 1 October 2025 for £1,460,000. One bid was recorded for the lot. The contracting process did not publish a contract period, so the award date and signed contract value are the key recorded outcome. The award relates to the full drainage scope: CCTV, inspection, maintenance and works across the listed English regions.

This procurement demonstrates demand from The Guinness Partnership for a large-scale, multi-region drainage service combining CCTV inspection, maintenance and physical works. A credible future competitor would need the equipment, trained operatives and management systems to deliver all three service elements, with sufficient capacity to coordinate work across England. Experience of inspecting drainage assets, diagnosing defects and carrying out repairs or other remedial works would be directly relevant. Suppliers would also need to demonstrate reliable scheduling, field-service coverage and the ability to respond consistently across a geographically dispersed housing portfolio. The award route indicates that understanding existing-supplier arrangements and the legal conditions for additional deliveries could be commercially important when assessing how similar requirements are bought.
