Summary of the contracting process

Gedling Borough Council is procuring a mechanical and electrical maintenance service for its portfolio of sewage treatment plants, sewerage treatment facilities and pumping stations in the Gedling area. The work covers travelling to and from sites, carrying out full mechanical and electrical inspections, completing service visits required by the specification, and arranging and supervising the emptying of primary settlement tanks. It also includes arranging and supervising the emptying, washing down and desludging of wet-well tanks. This is an ongoing sewage-treatment and pumping-station maintenance service rather than a construction project. The requirement is classified as services and includes sewage-pump, sewage-works, sewage-treatment and wider sewage-service activities. Gedling Borough Council is the buying organisation.

The process reached tender: Gedling Borough Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Questions had to be submitted by 21 September 2026 at 12:00, and offers were due by 5 October 2026 at 10:00. The initial contract runs from 23 November 2026 to 22 November 2029, with optional extensions of one year plus one year, giving a possible total term ending 22 November 2031. The value is £50,000 gross for the potential five-year term, comprising £30,000 for the initial three years. There is one lot. Evaluation is based on price at 70% and quality at 30%. Electronic submission is allowed, and the tender documents and submission arrangements are available through the council’s procurement portal.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized enterprises providing planned mechanical and electrical maintenance for sewage treatment plants, sewage pumps and pumping stations. Suppliers should be able to travel to multiple sites, inspect mechanical and electrical plant, perform cyclical servicing and respond to service visits in line with a detailed specification. They also need the operational capacity to arrange and supervise specialist tank-emptying, washing-down and desludging work, including primary settlement tanks and wet wells. Relevant experience in wastewater treatment, sewerage infrastructure or pumping-station maintenance would place a supplier well to compete. The requirement may suit a contractor with both in-house engineering capability and reliable arrangements for tankering, cleaning and sludge-handling services.
