How to win: Drainage Cleaning Investigation and CCTV Winter Services 2027

About this contract

Managing the drainage asset is a priority in the Council's Highways Strategy. To facilitate the identification of issues and asset data collection, there is a need to carry out detailed investigation and recording of asset condition. Once the condition is assessed the asset can be graded to enable maintenance schedules to be targeted and prioritisation of additional works. The work required includes cleaning and proving drainage systems, CCTV and mapping the assets. Westmorland and Furness Council require a single supplier to deliver drainage investigation, cleaning and CCTV inspections for a period of up to six months.
