Summary of the contracting process

Gedling Borough Council is procuring a mechanical and electrical maintenance service for its portfolio of sewage treatment plants, sewage pumping stations and associated plant. The work covers travel to and from sites, full mechanical and electrical inspections, cyclical maintenance and service visits in line with the specification. The appointed provider will also arrange and supervise emptying of primary settlement tanks, and the emptying, washing down and desludging of wet wells. This is a sewage treatment and wastewater services requirement, including work associated with sewage pumps and sewage treatment works. Delivery is across the Council’s sites in the Gedling area of Nottinghamshire. The requirement is a service contract and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement reached tender: Gedling Borough Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 21 September 2026 at 12:00, and offers had to be submitted by 5 October 2026 at 10:00. Electronic submission was allowed. The contract is valued at £98,000 gross. The intended contract period runs from 23 November 2026 to 22 November 2031, with a possible extension to 22 November 2034 subject to satisfactory performance. The Council will assess offers on a 70% price and 30% quality basis. There is one lot covering the full requirement, and the Council reserves the right to renew the contract for an optional additional three years.

This opportunity suits firms providing planned and reactive mechanical and electrical maintenance for sewage treatment and pumping infrastructure. Relevant suppliers will need the practical capability to inspect, service and maintain sewage treatment plants and associated pumps, and to organise specialist tank emptying, washing down and desludging operations. The work calls for a provider able to coordinate travel to multiple sites, schedule cyclical maintenance and complete service visits in accordance with a detailed specification. Contractors with experience of wastewater assets, sewage treatment processes, wet wells, settlement tanks and related mechanical and electrical systems are well placed to compete. The single-lot structure is suitable for an SME with sufficient operational capacity, or for a specialist maintenance business able to manage supporting waste and desludging services.
