## Summary

The Drainage Framework Agreement, spearheaded by Hillcrest, focuses on providing drainage cleaning and maintenance services across various regions including Dundee, Angus, Fife and Perthshire, Edinburgh, and Aberdeen/Shire. This procurement is classified under the industry category of 'Works' with a specific CPV code for building and plumbing. The procurement adopted an open procedure method, with its tender period closing on 14th August 2025, shortly followed by the award period commencing on 15th August 2025. The entire contract period was initially set for three years, with the possibility of a one-year extension, reflecting a framework agreement approach allowing for multiple participants. Although the final contract stage concluded with an unsuccessful award status, this procurement venture was initially outlined with a value of £400,000, illustrating the potential scale and significance of the agreement in providing essential drainage services in these areas.

This tender presents considerable prospects for business growth, especially for companies specialising in drainage system maintenance including unblocking, jetting, CCTV surveying, and urgent repair services. The demand for an out-of-hours emergency response accentuates the need for businesses with rapid deployment capabilities. Smaller or niche contractors in the specified geographical areas could find this a valuable opportunity, particularly those offering high-quality services as the award criteria reflect a significant emphasis on the quality of 70% and price of 30%. The framework's structure, with the possibility of multiple contractors per lot, indicates opportunities for collaboration or sole lot awards, appealing to businesses seeking long-term engagements with possibilities for annual extensions contingent on service performance.
