## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Staffordshire County Council focused on implementing the FAIR (Flood: Aware, Informed, Resilient) Approach at Hazelwalls Park in Uttoxeter, aiming to mitigate flood risks. The procurement title, "IA3960 Hazelwalls Park Automatic Screen," targets the industrial category of machinery for water filtering or purifying within the UKG region, specifically in Staffordshire. This process has reached the award stage, with the contract signed on 18th May 2026 and set to conclude on 18th December 2026. Valued at £165,840 (gross) with a direct procurement method below the competition threshold, the contract was awarded to Aquatic Control Engineering, a small to medium-sized enterprise.

This procurement offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in flood risk management solutions, specifically those capable of supplying innovative machinery for automatic debris clearing. Companies within the engineering and environmental sectors could find lucrative prospects in similar public projects that require specialist apparatus, like back-raking screens. The successful supplier, Aquatic Control Engineering, exemplifies how SMEs can effectively compete in sub-central government procurement processes, even when using direct procurement methods. Businesses able to provide sophisticated and bespoke solutions tailored to mitigating infrastructure and environmental challenges are particularly well-positioned to thrive in such endeavours.

## Notice

The FAIR (Flood: Aware, Informed, Resilient) Approach to Community Flood Risk project is working innovatively and collaboratively to reduce flood risk and improve resilience across communities in Staffordshire and the Black Country. As part of the project, we have been developing options to manage flood risk in the Hazelwalls Park area of Uttoxeter. The area has suffered frequent flooding to roads and properties as a result of persistent blockages to a culvert debris screen in the park. As part of the project, we wish to install a specialist piece of machinery, an automatic back-raking screen, to automatically clear debris from the screen and reduce the risk of flooding.
