Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Bexley procured essential monthly maintenance works at the Thames Road Depot pumping station. The requirement is classified as drainage works and concerns the upkeep of pumping-station infrastructure rather than the supply of goods or general facilities management. Delivery is associated with the depot in Bexley. The buying organisation is London Borough of Bexley, a sub-central public authority. The work is therefore relevant to drainage contractors, wastewater infrastructure specialists and firms experienced in maintaining pumping stations and associated equipment for local authorities. Its practical focus is recurring, planned maintenance at a public-sector operational site, rather than a one-off construction project or a broad engineering services package.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct procedure below the relevant threshold, without competition. One lot was awarded to Elliott Environmental Drainage Limited, an SME. The award is active and the contract was signed on 1 July 2026. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £49,000 excluding VAT and £58,800 including VAT. The requirement covers monthly maintenance during that period. The recorded award concerns drainage works for the Thames Road Depot pumping station. This outcome shows that the council used a direct, below-threshold route for a defined maintenance requirement and selected a single supplier for the complete lot.

This procurement indicates demand from London Borough of Bexley for specialist, recurring maintenance of pumping-station and drainage assets. Suppliers best placed to compete when a similar requirement returns would be able to deliver planned monthly attendance, inspect and maintain pumping-station infrastructure, and respond reliably at an operational depot. Relevant capability includes practical drainage engineering, wastewater or pumping-station maintenance experience, safe delivery in a public-sector environment and the capacity to provide consistent service throughout the contract term. The award to an SME also demonstrates that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a large national contractor. A credible competitor would need evidence of dependable maintenance delivery and suitable operational capacity.
