## Summary

Lancashire County Council is procuring foul water drainage works for the Samlesbury Enterprise Zone in Lancashire. The scope is described as providing foul water drainage, with the associated work classifications covering ground drainage and drainage construction. The works are for the enterprise zone; the delivery location is identified at county level as Lancashire. This is a civil engineering and drainage construction opportunity for contractors able to undertake foul-water infrastructure works. The council is the buying organisation.

The council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The process reached tender, with bids sought by 27 November 2026 at 12:00 noon. The single lot has an estimated value of £2 million excluding VAT (£2.4 million including VAT). The contract period is scheduled to run from 29 January 2027 to 31 October 2027. Evaluation weights price at 60%, quality at 30% and social value at 10%. Electronic submission is permitted. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This opportunity suits drainage and civil engineering contractors with the capability to deliver foul-water drainage infrastructure at an enterprise-zone site. The stated scope includes ground drainage and drainage construction, so suppliers should be positioned to undertake relevant construction works. The procurement is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to smaller contractors as well as larger firms with matching delivery capability. Price is the largest evaluation element, while quality and social value together account for a substantial part of the assessment, so bidders need to demonstrate both competitive pricing and a credible approach to delivery quality and social value.
