There is an ongoing requirement to undertake routine maintenance of the foul water assets to ensure correct operation and compliance with Environment Agency discharge consents along with the emptying of septic tanks to provide effluent disposal arrangements for homes served by the installations.

o Out of hours and emergency call out service - provision of 24-hour, 365-day cover for reactive and emergency work along with ad-hoc tankering.

The requirement has been divided into 7 geographical based Lots as follows:

Lot 1 - North Hampshire
Lot 2 - South Hampshire
Lot 3 - East Dorset
Lot 4 - West Dorset
Lot 5 - Devon & Cornwall
