Summary of the contracting process

The City of London procured drainage survey and climate-resilience works for Leadenhall Market. The scope is identified as drainage construction works, indicating a requirement focused on the market’s drainage infrastructure and resilience to climate impacts. The buyer is The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London. The named delivery site is Leadenhall Market in the City of London. The requirement was procured as a single lot and has been awarded. This is a site-specific works contract rather than a general drainage services opportunity, so it is most relevant to contractors able to undertake drainage infrastructure work in a historic market setting and address resilience needs alongside surveying. The recorded procurement title combines the drainage survey and climate-resilience elements.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Aquaflow Drainage Services Limited. The buyer used a direct award, described as below threshold and without competition. The contract was signed on 12 October 2026 and runs from 13 October to 5 November 2026. Its gross value is £44,367. The award covers one lot, for drainage construction works. The procurement data does not set out a competitive evaluation basis: the supplier was selected through the direct-award route. The recorded award is active and the contract is active. This is the outcome of the process, rather than an opportunity to submit a bid.

For suppliers looking to compete for similar City of London work in future, this award shows demand for focused drainage infrastructure work at Leadenhall Market, combining a drainage survey with climate resilience. A credible competitor would need practical drainage construction capability and the ability to assess site drainage and deliver works addressing resilience requirements. Experience working in a constrained, operational market environment would be relevant to the location and nature of the requirement, although no specific technical standards or accreditations are identified here. The awarded contract was a small, short-duration, single-lot package, suggesting a tightly scoped delivery rather than a large multi-site programme. The buyer used a direct award without competition for this procurement; suppliers should therefore understand that route when considering how this particular requirement was placed.
