ConstructNet Opportunity Analysis

Whilst relatively small in value, the project highlights the growing focus on sustainable drainage systems (SuDS), climate resilience and nature-based flood management solutions across local authority estates.


As local authorities continue to invest in environmental improvement projects, similar opportunities are likely to emerge for contractors specialising in:

  • Landscaping works

  • Sustainable drainage systems (SuDS)

  • Surface water management

  • Civil engineering works

  • Drainage installation

  • Environmental enhancement projects

  • Groundworks and external works


The award also demonstrates continued investment by public sector bodies in small-scale resilience and sustainability projects that can provide recurring opportunities for specialist contractors operating within the environmental and drainage sectors.
