The work covers below-ground drainage systems and includes diagnosing faults, unblocking, flushing and jetting drains, CCTV surveys and vactor cleaning. It also includes excavation and disposal, reinstating footpaths and highways, and traffic management where required. This is a drainage maintenance and repair works contract for council housing, rather than a general building or civil engineering project. The scope combines inspection and routine remedial work with more involved excavation and surface reinstatement, so it is relevant to drainage specialists able to deliver these services for residential properties. This procurement is at the planning stage: the council has signalled its intention to procure, but has not yet invited tenders. It expects to use an open procedure under the GPA and plans to issue the contract notice during the week of 26 October 2026, followed by the tender package. The stated date is an indicative expectation, not a response deadline. The procurement is described as a single lot. No estimated contract value, budget, contract duration or evaluation criteria are stated here, so suppliers cannot yet assess the financial scale or tender scoring basis. The council plans to issue the tender package through its tender portal after the contract notice. The work is suited to specialist drainage maintenance and repair contractors with experience working on below-ground systems at domestic properties. Suppliers should be equipped to undertake diagnostic analysis, unblocking, flushing, jetting, CCTV inspection and vactor cleaning, as well as excavation, disposal and reinstatement of footpaths or highways. Traffic management capability may also be needed where the work requires it. The council says main contractors and subcontractors will be required to provide evidence of membership of the National Association of Drainage Contractors (NADC), making this an important preparation point for firms considering participation. The combination of specialist drainage services and associated reinstatement work may suit a main contractor able to self-deliver the full range or coordinate qualified subcontractors. The procurement has not reached the tender invitation stage. ## Notice Renfrewshire Council wish to appoint a suitably experienced Drain Maintenance/Repair Contractor to provide drain maintenance and repair services for sub-surface [below ground] drainage systems.
