Summary of the contracting process

North Ayrshire Council has completed the procurement process titled "NAC/5205 - Drainage and Sewerage Services," focusing on the industry category of general public services within the UKM93 region, including the Islands of Arran and Cumbrae. This procurement was conducted through an open procedure, starting from 20 May 2025, with an award notice published on 25 August 2025, when the contract was signed with DAMM Environmental for a value of £712,000. The process has moved from the tendering stage to the award phase, emphasising the need for responsive repairs to drainage and sewerage services in over 250 non-housing properties managed by North Ayrshire Council.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for companies in the drainage and sewerage service industries. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like DAMM Environmental, which deliver general public service works, would find such contracts advantageous to expand their presence and capabilities in the UK market. The requirement for certifications in quality, health and safety, and environmental management further aligns it with businesses that prioritise compliance and maintain rigorous operational standards.
