## Summary

Wigan Council is seeking bids for the "Gully Cleaning Services 2019 - 2022" contract, aimed at maintaining and jetting gullies and drainage systems across unclassified and residential roads within the Wigan Borough. The procurement is currently in the award stage, and the contract has an estimated value of £400,000. The contract will last for three years, starting from 19th August 2019, with Task Order 1 expected to be completed by 31st October 2019. A series of task orders, including the cleaning of thousands of gullies, will be issued based on contractor performance and resource availability. The tender, which was published on 19th June 2019, followed an open procedure, and interested parties had until 19th July 2019 to submit their applications.

This contract offers significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in drainage and waste management services. Companies with capabilities in gully cleaning and maintenance, as well as those experienced in managing drainage software systems like Kaarbon Tech's Gully Smart, would be ideally positioned to compete. With the contract potentially leading to numerous task orders issued over three years, successful bidders may benefit from consistent work and the ability to demonstrate ongoing performance to secure further contracts from Wigan Council.

## Notice

Services required by Wigan Council under the proposed term service contract are the cleansing and jetting of gullies and interconnecting drainage systems on unclassified/residential roads located in Wigan Borough. This will initially be for an intended task order comprising of 5 751 gullies in the Atherton, Atherleigh and Tyldesley wards, with the possibility of further work issued via different task orders during the period of the contract. The successful provider must also maintain and develop the Kaarbon Tech Gully Smart software system utilised by Wigan Council during the contract. Wigan Council intends to enter into a term service contract with the successful tenderer for a period of 3 years, during which task orders may be issued for specific gully cleaning work. Task Order 1: comprises the cleaning of 5 751 gullies; Task Order 2: 10 729 gullies; Task Order 3: 16 089 gullies; and Task Order 4: 16 751 gullies. Further detail regarding the location of gullies within the borough is available within the tender documentation. It would be required that Task Order 1 be completed by a desired indicative completion date of 31.10.2019. Task Orders 2, 3 and 4 may be awarded by Wigan Council at its own choosing within the 3 year contract period based on contractor performance and available expenditure. All task orders are priced options and there is no guarantee of services or any value of services and Wigan Council reserves the right to amend the limits of the gully cleaning to ensure that the provision of the services does not exceed available expenditure. Throughout 2017 and 2018 work was carried out to integrate a number of asset datasets for drainage items into one asset list as part of a highway drainage asset mapping exercise. As part of this and subsequent investigations a greater understanding of the condition of our highway drainage assets was obtained. Dedicated software was introduced, provided by KaarbonTech systems, to manage the highway gully and drainage assets and to provide the Authority with central access to the inventory, cleansing information and oversight of the field operations. The successful provider must maintain and develop this software system during the contract. The closing date of Friday 19th July 2019 at 17:00 represents the deadline for the submission of final tender applications. This Contract Notice was submitted for publication to the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) on 14th June 2019 and published with reference number 2019/S 115-282679.
