Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire County Council procured construction works to improve surface-water drainage in Cherry Willingham, Lincoln. The scope covers a new drainage system behind 65 and 67 Waterford Lane, connected to the existing drainage infrastructure on Waterford Lane. It also includes installing pre-cast box culverts and carrying out ditch works along Fiskerton Road. The pre-cast box culverts were already ordered by the council. Delivery is in Cherry Willingham and the surrounding Lincoln area. The works category is construction, covering civil engineering and drainage infrastructure rather than routine maintenance, consultancy or supply-only activity. The scheme is intended to address surface-water drainage through new infrastructure and associated road and ditch works.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Lincolnshire County Council used a competitive selective procedure below the relevant threshold, making an award under a framework. The contract was signed on 16 July 2026 and awarded on 20 July 2026 to DANIEL CHARLES CONSTRUCTION LIMITED. The awarded contract value is £47,972,864 gross, in GBP. The contract period runs from 20 July 2026 to 26 October 2026. One lot was awarded, covering the drainage improvements at Waterford Lane and Fiskerton Road. The works include pre-booked road closures as a major delivery constraint. The published outcome records the selected supplier and an active contract for this requirement.

This procurement indicates demand from Lincolnshire County Council for contractors able to deliver substantial civil engineering and surface-water drainage schemes in constrained public-road environments. A credible competitor for similar work would need practical experience installing drainage infrastructure, connecting new systems to existing networks, constructing or placing pre-cast box culverts, and completing ditch works. The requirement also favours firms able to plan works around pre-booked road closures and coordinate safely with highway restrictions and local stakeholders. The awarded supplier was a small or medium-sized construction business, showing that this type of council works package can suit an established SME with relevant construction delivery capability, site management, and capacity for a concentrated infrastructure programme.
