What is being bought
SW is seeking a supplying partner that can manage the full lifecycle management of Section 81 manhole cover covers and frames notifications across the Mainland and Isle of Wight. This includes receiving and processing reports from DfT Street Manager and other channels, extracting key details, and creating the necessary work orders and inspection activities within internal systems. The supplier will be responsible for conducting onsite surveys to confirm ownership, assess condition, gather photographic and video evidence, determine the validity of Section 81 claims, and record accurate location data. A detailed knowledge of New Roads and Streetworks Act (1991) and Traffic Management Act (2004) is essential, as well as a proven track record in managing Utility covers and frames in the Highway.
