The process was under the open method and categorized as a below-threshold open competition, primarily involving services related to sewage removal and disposal. The awarded contract began on 1 May 2026 and is set to run until 31 March 2027, with potential extensions up to 12 additional months. The tender attracted 14 bids with the final award being granted to CLEANSING SERVICE GROUP LIMITED, valued at £120,000 gross. The procurement process completed the award stage as of 27 July 2026, following an initial start of the tender in January 2026. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental services, sewage removal, or related industries. Companies with similar project experience, robust health, safety, and environmental measures, and proper permits for sewage waste transport were well positioned to compete. The succinct procurement method allowed for smaller services providers, such as SMEs, to engage, offering competitive growth opportunities especially for businesses within the UK, and those capable of safely managing and disposing of sewage across remote rural properties in the Folkestone district. ## Notice Sewage Sludge Tankering and Cesspit Emptying Services for rural properties across the district.
