## Summary

Via East Midlands Limited is procuring environmental emergency response services for the Nottinghamshire highway network. The requirement is for a specialist contractor to protect the public, make highways safe again and reduce environmental harm following incidents. Services include emergency attendance, spill response, pollution control, waste recovery, cleansing of contaminated drainage, watercourse protection, fly-tipping response and removal of animal carcasses. The contractor will also provide post-incident reporting and liaise with stakeholders. This is a highways and environmental incident-response service, with street-cleaning services included within its classification. Delivery is across the Nottinghamshire highway network, requiring a coordinated response to incidents affecting roads and associated infrastructure.

The process has reached tender: Via East Midlands invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is a single-lot procurement. The buyer set 28 September 2026 at 11:00 as the deadline for submissions, with electronic submission allowed through the Proactis eTendering system. The contract is scheduled to run from 26 October 2026 to 25 October 2028, with renewal provisions in a 2+1+1-year format and a maximum possible end date of 25 October 2030. The estimated value is £100,000 excluding VAT, or £120,000 including VAT. Offers will be evaluated on 60% price and 40% quality, with further detail in the invitation-to-tender documents.

This opportunity suits specialist environmental emergency contractors able to provide a dependable response at any time of day or night, throughout the year, across a highway network. Relevant capability includes managing road spillages and pollution, controlling contaminated water and drainage, protecting watercourses, recovering waste, removing fly-tipped materials and animal carcasses, and restoring affected highway areas safely. Suppliers should be able to mobilise appropriate personnel, vehicles, containment and cleansing equipment for varied incidents, while coordinating with the highway operator and other stakeholders. The requirement also suits businesses with established incident-management procedures, environmental controls, safe working practices and the capacity to record incidents, produce post-response reports and maintain resilient service coverage.
