Framework Description
Efficiency East Midlands' Drainage Services & CCTV Inspections Framework (reference EEM0011-23) covers reactive and planned drainage work, CCTV surveys and repairs on both domestic and commercial properties. It is a single-lot framework, not a DPS, closed to new applications and used by EEM's member organisations. This instance runs until 3 November 2027, with no extension listed.
Context & Use Case
Housing associations, local authorities and other EEM members use it for blocked drains, planned drainage surveys and remedial works. CCTV inspections give landlords condition data for asset management and help them choose between cleaning, repair or relining. Covering domestic and commercial premises means members can use one route for housing and for corporate buildings.
Scope of Services
Reactive drainage clearance and maintenance Planned drainage maintenance CCTV drainage surveys and reporting Jet-vac and high-pressure cleaning Drain repairs and relining Domestic and commercial premises
Lots
Single lot
Who Can Apply
Suits drainage contractors with CCTV survey capability, relevant trade accreditations and experience with housing or public sector clients across the EEM member area. Applications for this framework are closed, so new suppliers cannot join before the re-tender, which is likely around November 2027.
Buyer Benefits
Drainage failures cause flooding, damp and complaints, so members want contractors who respond fast and fix the cause. Buyers value clear CCTV reports with recommendations, sensible repair-versus-reline decisions, and coverage of both homes and commercial buildings through one pre-tendered supplier group.
Next Steps
Appointed suppliers should keep response data, sample CCTV reports and accreditations ready for call-offs. Others should prepare for the replacement procurement before 3 November 2027: watch Find a Tender for an EEM drainage notice, gather housing and commercial references, and set out how you provide emergency out-of-hours cover.
