Summary of the contracting process

ACIS GROUP LIMITED procured routine servicing and maintenance of sewage treatment plants. The requirement covers wastewater-plant repair and maintenance work and sewerage management services, supporting the continued operation of the buyer’s sewage treatment assets. The buyer is a public authority based in Gainsborough and the services are delivered in the East Midlands. The procurement is a single-service requirement rather than a multi-lot programme. It is relevant to environmental services contractors, wastewater specialists, sewage-treatment plant maintenance providers and firms able to manage planned servicing and repairs across the buyer’s operating area. The work concerns ongoing asset maintenance rather than construction of new treatment facilities, so suppliers should be equipped for operational support, inspections, fault response and associated sewerage-management activity.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was awarded to Bates Environmental Ltd on 24 July 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, with options for four further one-year extensions, giving a maximum possible period to 31 August 2031. Its value is £110,825 excluding VAT, or £132,990 including VAT. The award covers the single lot and is active; the contract is also active. The published outcome identifies the requirement as services and the procedure as a limited competition. The award was made under the Procurement Act 2023 legal basis. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The contract includes renewal by mutual agreement after the initial year.

This outcome demonstrates established demand from ACIS GROUP LIMITED for recurring sewage-treatment plant servicing, wastewater-plant repairs and sewerage-management support. A credible competitor for the next cycle would need practical experience maintaining operational sewage treatment assets, diagnosing and repairing plant faults, and delivering planned routine servicing reliably. Capability should cover both mechanical or treatment-plant maintenance and wider sewerage-management responsibilities, rather than only one-off repairs. Suppliers should also be able to provide a dependable service across the East Midlands operating area and demonstrate the capacity to support an initial service term with possible repeated annual extensions. The award to an SME indicates that the requirement can be delivered by a focused environmental-services business, provided it has the necessary technical workforce, response arrangements and relevant track record.
