Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge City Council is procuring consultancy for the design and installation of land drainage at Cambridge Crematorium in Cambridge. The work begins with a brief design and options report setting out proposed drainage solutions, their advantages and disadvantages, cost estimates and timelines, and recommending a preferred option with justification for the council’s review. After approval, the consultant will carry out the necessary surveys and investigations, share the results with the council, and develop the agreed preliminary design into a detailed design that complies with relevant standards. The required outputs include specifications, a bill of quantities, CAD and PDF drawings, construction health and safety information, risk and issue logs, a maintenance plan and schedule, and design and check certificates. The procurement is for engineering design consultancy and associated drainage works.

The council invited offers through an open competition below the relevant threshold. The process reached the tender stage. Questions were due by 27 November 2026 at 23:59, and bids by 4 December 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is scheduled from 11 January to 12 March 2027. The stated procurement value is £36,000 gross. There is one lot. Bids are evaluated on quality and price, weighted 70% and 30% respectively. Electronic submission is allowed.

This opportunity suits engineering and drainage consultancies able to take a project from early options appraisal through investigations and detailed design, and to support drainage installation. Suppliers should be able to develop and compare drainage solutions, provide justified recommendations, estimate costs and delivery timelines, and undertake surveys and investigations. They will need to produce coordinated technical documentation, including specifications, bills of quantities and CAD and PDF drawings, alongside construction health and safety information, risk and issue logs, and maintenance plans and schedules. The design must meet applicable standards, and the required deliverables include design and checking certificates. The combination of design consultancy and installation makes it relevant to firms with the technical breadth and delivery capability to support both the design process and drainage works at a crematorium.
