## Summary

Cambridge City Council has recently completed the procurement process for the provision of watercourse maintenance across Huntingdonshire. This tender, classified under the construction work for water projects and river regulation, aims to enhance flood control efforts in the area. The procurement stage has reached the award phase, with Aquaserve Maintenance Limited and Breheny Civil Engineering Limited appointed as contractors. The contract, valued at £150,000, is set to run from 4th August 2025 to 4th August 2028, following the procedural completion on 21st July 2025. Interested parties were required to submit both qualitative responses and pricing strategies prior to the tender period closure on 7th July 2025.

This opportunity presents significant growth potential for SMEs, particularly those with expertise in watercourse maintenance or more broadly within the construction and engineering sectors. The contract's duration and location in Huntingdonshire offer a stable workload over the three-year term, providing a conducive environment for business growth. Aquaserve Maintenance Limited, an SME, emerged successfully, highlighting the project's suitability for small to medium-sized enterprises, while larger firms like Breheny Civil Engineering also demonstrate the procurement's accessibility across various business scales. With Cambridge City Council as the buyer, companies can leverage this opportunity to establish or enhance their reputation with public sector contracts.
