Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council procured repair works to the existing retaining river walls and weir within the Porter Brook at Endcliffe Park, Sheffield. The requirement followed damage caused by Storm Babet in October 2023 and covered surveying, design and construction works. This is civil engineering work involving river-wall construction and riverbank protection, with delivery in Sheffield, Yorkshire and the Humber. The scope is therefore suited to contractors able to inspect and assess damaged watercourse structures, develop repair designs and carry out construction in or beside a live river environment. It concerns physical remedial works rather than routine maintenance, consultancy alone or general building services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 16 July 2026 to Esh Construction Ltd. The award value is £326,855.31 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 10 August 2026 to 24 November 2026. Sheffield City Council used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open competition. The tender submission deadline was 18 February 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was categorised as works and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, and the contract covers the full requirement for surveying, design and repair works to the damaged river walls and weir.

For a future requirement of this type, credible suppliers would need combined capability in watercourse and retaining-wall inspection, engineering design and construction repair. Experience of riverbank protection, weirs, storm-damage remediation and working safely around flowing water would be directly relevant. Contractors would also need sufficient delivery capacity for a defined civil engineering project, including coordination between surveyors, designers and site teams. The council’s use of a framework call-off shows the value of holding an appropriate framework position or partnering with a framework supplier. The stated SME suitability indicates that smaller specialist civil engineering firms may be competitive, particularly where they can demonstrate relevant completed projects, robust site management and the ability to deliver design-and-build river works.
