In plain English
Westmorland and Furness Council wants one contractor to clean, inspect and map its drainage system over up to six months, with an estimated value of £500,000. The work is meant to find problems and record the condition of the drains so the council can plan maintenance and prioritise repairs.
What the buyer wants
• Clean and prove (test the flow and condition of) the council's drainage systems. • Carry out CCTV camera inspections of drains to record their condition. • Map the drainage assets and grade their condition to guide future maintenance schedules and additional works.
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The council requires a single supplier to cover all of the investigation, cleaning, CCTV and mapping, at an estimated £500,000 over six months, which would likely rule out small businesses that cannot take on the whole scope or a contract of this size alone, although the notice does not state any specific qualification criteria.
