What is being bought
Kent County Council (the Council) is the largest local authority in England covering an area of 3,500 square kilometres. It has an annual expenditure of over £1bn on goods and services and a population of 1.6m. The Council provides a wide range of personal and strategic services on behalf of its residents, operating in partnership with the NHS Kent and Medway Integrated Care Board, 12 district councils, and 289 parish/town councils. The Council consists of four directorates: • Adult Social Care and Health • Children, Young People and Education • Growth, Environment and Transport • Chief Executive’s Department and Deputy Chief Executive's Department This service is being commissioned on behalf of the Growth, Environment and Transport directorate. In 2023, Kent County Council established a £15,000,000 Drainage Framework to facilitate the delivery of the Council's drainage works and maintenance. Three suppliers were appointed to the framework. Work is awarded either via direct awards on a rotational basis or via mini-competition. The notice details the Council's intention to modify the framework in line with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The drainage works consist of providing labour/resources, plant, and materials to carry out all tasks associated with Highway Drainage Maintenance on both highway and non-highway sites. The framework commenced on 1st August 2023 and is due to expire on 31st July 2027. Once modified, the total framework value will be £22,500,000; however, work is not guaranteed under the framework. This amount will be awarded among the three framework suppliers accordingly in accordance with the Framework rules.

Procedure rationaleKent County Council is publishing this Voluntary Transparency Notice (VTN) to inform the market of its intention to, 30 days from the date of this notice (26th February 2025), use Regulation 72(1)(b) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 to modify the framework's value by 50%, increasing it from £15,000,000 to £22,500,000. This modification meets the criteria of Regulation 72(1)(b) and is therefore deemed lawful and in accordance with the directive. The Council anticipates running a competitive tender exercise within the next 24 months to establish a new contractual arrangement for its drainage requirements. Any future opportunities will be published via the Council's procurement portal and the Central Digital Platform. Once modified, the total framework value will be £22,500,000; however, work is not guaranteed under the framework. This amount will be awarded across the three framework suppliers accordingly, which is why the awarded values below for each supplier show the full range.
