Sewage Treatment Plant and Pumping Station Maintenance Tendering

We have now completed the tendering exercise for the maintenance of our sewage treatment plants and pumping stations.

Tenders from contractors were assessed against a formal tender evaluation model which took account of price and quality of service. 

The successful contractors are Alpheus Environmental Ltd., for the maintenance of sewage treatment plants and South West Water Ltd., for the maintenance of pumping stations.

Residents, and those non-residents who receive this service, paying for it through a variable service charge, were formally consulted at each stage of the process.  Comments received were used to shape the work specifications and approach to the tender.  We would like to thank those who submitted comments as part of the consultation process.

Spectrum Property Care will be managing the contracts on behalf of Signpost Housing Association and they are looking forward to working with the new contractors.

The new contract will give us transparency of costs for each treatment plant and pumping station, so those receiving the service can be assured that they are paying for the service they are receiving.  Having gone through a tendering exercise we can also be assured that we are getting good value for money in terms of the services being received.
