## Summary

The University of Worcester is procuring drainage works across its university estate. The requirement covers planned preventative maintenance and ad hoc drainage services as they arise, rather than a single defined project. The work is for the University of Worcester and will be delivered across its estate. This suits drainage contractors able to provide both scheduled maintenance and responsive works for a public-sector education organisation. The procurement is categorised as works, with the associated classification describing drainage works. Suppliers should consider whether they can cover the University’s estate, respond to unplanned requirements and maintain drainage infrastructure through an ongoing service arrangement.

The process has reached tender: the University invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries were due by 17 September 2026 at 10:00, and tender responses were due by 24 September 2026 at 10:00. Responses must be uploaded to the University’s In-Tend portal. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with the option of two further 12-month renewals, potentially extending to 31 October 2031. The overall estimated value is £25,000 excluding VAT and £30,000 including VAT, in GBP. The single lot is recorded with the same amounts but in AED. Evaluation is based on price at 45% and quality at 55%.

This opportunity is suited to drainage contractors with practical experience of planned preventative maintenance and responsive, ad hoc drainage works. Suppliers should be able to organise recurring maintenance across a university estate while also handling unplanned requirements when they arise. The requirement favours businesses with sufficient operational capacity to support a three-year service period and, if renewed, up to two additional 12-month periods. Contractors able to deliver consistent quality alongside competitive pricing are well placed, since quality carries greater weight than price in the evaluation. It may also suit smaller specialist firms that can provide reliable estate-wide coverage and manage both scheduled and reactive workloads.

## Notice
