Summary of the contracting process

Southminster Parish Council is procuring construction works to replace the existing council-owned fresh water service pipe at King George V Playing Field, Station Road, Southminster. The project covers approximately 550 metres of new water service pipework connected to seven existing buildings, seven threshold water meters and two additional monitoring meters. It also includes system testing and reinstatement of all affected ground surfaces to match their existing condition. The work will take place mainly on tarmacked access roads and car parks under the Council’s control, so contractors will not need to work within the public highway. This is a water-utility construction requirement for suppliers able to undertake buried pipework, metering, testing and surface reinstatement in a playing-field environment.

The procurement reached tender: the Council invited written offers through a selective competitive procedure with negotiation. Interested contractors had to register by 9:00am on 3 August 2026, after which the full tender document was to be released; the tender submission deadline was also 9:00am on 3 August 2026. The tender is divided into one lot covering the complete works, with an estimated value of £50,000 including the stated currency of GBP. Submissions must be in English and alternative bids are allowed. The procurement concerns works and uses a competitive procedure with negotiation. The published information sets out the physical scope and submission arrangements; the supplied tender data does not state a contract delivery period or detailed evaluation weighting.

This opportunity suits experienced construction contractors with practical capability in water-service installation and associated groundworks. Relevant suppliers will need to plan and install a substantial length of service pipe, connect it to multiple existing buildings, fit threshold and monitoring meters, test the completed system and reinstate tarmac or other affected surfaces to the existing standard. The work is concentrated on access roads and car parks controlled by the Council, which may suit contractors experienced in working on operational sites without public-highway excavation. Businesses able to coordinate pipe installation, metering, testing and surface restoration as a single package are well placed to compete. The requirement is also suitable for contractors comfortable with written tender submissions and negotiation with a local public-sector buyer.
