## Notice

We are seeing an increasing trend in the frequency and intensity of severe weather events. Westmorland & Furness Council, referred to hereafter as 'the Council' has limited internal resource available for dealing with all of the drainage issues coming into the service, and is struggling to keep on top of the increasing demands. The Council is aiming to secure an arrangement, under the NEC4 Short Contract, ensuring additional resources are available to call upon, to assist with improving the condition of its highway surface water drainage assets. Works will involve assisting the Council with drain cleansing, drainage investigations and CCTV surveys on surface water drainage systems, and associated assets at targeted locations. The tender is advertised via The Chest, if you are not already registered on the portal the help you need to get started can be found here https://www.the-chest.org.uk/.
