## Summary

The Guinness Partnership commissioned works for Mannings Farm Drainage. The requirement covers design work addressing overland flooding and waterlogged gardens, together with management of adoption agreements. It sits within construction and associated works, including construction materials and related items. The buyer is The Guinness Partnership, a public undertaking based in London. Delivery is identified in the United Kingdom. The requirement concerns practical drainage and flood-management design linked to housing or land management, rather than general construction supply. Businesses relevant to this procurement would typically provide drainage engineering, flood-risk or surface-water design, advice on waterlogged land, and support with agreements governing the adoption and future management of drainage assets.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the stated legal basis of the Procurement Act 2023. One lot was awarded to Craddys Pitchers Ltd T/A Craddys. The award is active. The contract was signed on 1 June 2026 and runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £26,350 excluding VAT, or £31,620 including VAT. The evaluation basis was therefore the buyer’s direct-award decision rather than a competitive assessment of tenders. The contract remains active and covers the drainage design requirement described above.

This award shows that The Guinness Partnership buys focused drainage and flood-management expertise for a defined housing or land-related problem, using a low-value direct-award route. A future competitor would need to demonstrate practical capability in diagnosing overland flooding, designing measures for waterlogged gardens, and producing solutions that can be implemented as construction-related works. Experience managing or advising on adoption agreements would also be relevant, since the requirement includes the ongoing ownership and management arrangements for drainage assets. Credibility would come from combining drainage or surface-water design knowledge with an understanding of construction delivery and housing-land interfaces. Firms able to handle both the technical design and the associated agreement-management work would be better aligned than suppliers offering general construction services alone.
