When this comes round again

Carmarthenshire County Council has published 13 Environment & Waste notices, about every 5 months. On that rhythm the next one is expected around September 2026.

76% of Carmarthenshire County Council’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.

Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →

The brief

This Contract Notice is to inform the market that the Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the provision of Drainage Investigations and CCTV Surveys has been extended for a further year until 30th November 2026, in accordance with the DPS Agreement and original tender documentation.

Carmarthenshire County Council established this DPS for the provision of Drainage Investigations and CCTV Surveys on 1st December 2020 for an initial period of up to 4 years.

The DPS is operated on a fully electronic basis and is open to new entrants throughout its term who meet the minimum criteria specified in the DPS documents.

The Council is seeking to appoint contractors to undertake drainage surveys using specialist equipment and cameras that pass through or zoom up culverts and pipes to record their condition and location.

The surveys are required as part of the Council’s statutory duties under the Flood and Water Management Act 2010, the Highways Act (1980) and for Asset Management purposes.

The requirement is for surveys only, not repairs.

Existing suppliers appointed to the DPS do not need to re-apply.
