Summary of the contracting process

Wolverhampton City Council commissioned CCTV drainage surveys along sections of the A461 corridor, covering the Birmingham Road and Dudley Port area. The work is a sewer survey service: the supplier conducts camera inspections of drainage infrastructure along the specified route. The requirement is focused on surveying existing drains rather than general road works or drainage construction. The buying organisation is Wolverhampton City Council, and the surveys are for the A461 corridor in Wolverhampton. This is a single-lot requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Lanes Group Limited. The contract was signed on 5 October 2026 and runs from 12 October to 30 November 2026. Its value is £19,883.75 excluding VAT (£23,860.50 including VAT). The award is for one lot. The council used a below-threshold limited competition procedure. The published data does not state the evaluation criteria, so the basis on which competing offers were assessed cannot be described.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible supplier would need to deliver CCTV inspections of drainage along a defined road corridor and provide the operational capacity to cover the specified sections. Lanes Group Limited was selected for this sewer-survey service, indicating that a specialist drainage surveying provider can meet the council’s requirement. The work is a focused, short-duration assignment rather than a large infrastructure programme, so suppliers able to mobilise a survey team and equipment for a defined route are relevant competitors. This procurement was run through limited competition, making awareness of the council’s purchasing route important for businesses seeking similar work.
