Summary of the contracting process

The Guinness Partnership Limited procured drainage works through a drainage provider arrangement. The requirement covers the delivery of drainage works for the buyer’s housing and property operations, with activity taking place in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is a public undertaking headquartered in London. The procurement is categorised as works rather than goods or general services, and the relevant classification is CPV 45232452, drainage works. The requirement was organised as a single completed lot. This opportunity is therefore relevant to contractors and specialist providers whose core business is carrying out drainage works for a public-sector housing organisation, including firms able to operate across the United Kingdom.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 22 July 2026 and awarded to Metro Rod Limited, an SME. The award is active. The contract runs from 23 July 2026 to 14 June 2027 and has a gross value of £631,000. The award date is 22 July 2026. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, and the procurement used one completed lot. The contractual arrangement is with Metro Rod Limited for the drainage works associated with that lot.

This procurement demonstrates established demand from The Guinness Partnership Limited for specialist drainage works delivered through a direct-award route. Competitors would need a proven drainage contracting capability and the operational capacity to support a public-sector housing organisation across the United Kingdom. A credible supplier would be expected to provide reliable delivery of drainage works, manage work under an active service arrangement, and demonstrate the scale and resilience appropriate to a requirement of this size. Metro Rod Limited’s SME status also shows that the buyer’s requirement can be fulfilled by a specialist small or medium-sized drainage business, rather than only by a major national contractor.
