Summary of the contracting process

The University of Southampton is currently undertaking a procurement process for the "Pevensey Bay Nearshore Monitoring" project, which falls under the services category with a CPV classification focused on radar and oceanographic instruments. This procurement is at the tender stage, with the submission deadline set for 18th August 2020. The project is located in Pevensey Bay, East Sussex, and has a total contract value of £200,000. The project is aimed at improving understanding of coastal management and flood defence in this vital area.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in environmental monitoring, remote sensing, or coastal engineering services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate given the tender's suitability for such businesses. Companies that can provide innovative methods for measuring shoreface processes, including those with expertise in deploying monitoring equipment in dynamic coastal environments, will find this opportunity beneficial. Engaging in this project could facilitate business growth through collaboration with the University in ongoing coastal risk management initiatives.

Notice Title

Pevensey Bay Nearshore Monitoring

Notice Description

The mixed, shingle barrier beach at Pevensey Bay, East Sussex, represents a crucial asset in flood defence and coastal risk management along the East Sussex coastline, protecting the low-lying Pevensey Levels, with designated wetlands as well as thousands of vulnerable properties (many built at the crest) and coastal infrastructure. The 9km frontage is highly dynamic and suffers a net loss of sediment due to littoral drift, partly blocked by the Sovereign Harbour breakwater at the southern side (Sutherland and Thomas, 2011). This is managed through continuous bypassing and recycling of beach material, as well as regular beach nourishment and repair of key groynes, following a major capital recharge scheme in 2002. This is operated under a unique, private finance initiative, to provide a 1:400 year standard protection against breaching and maintaining a crest elevation. The spatial and temporal variations in beach volume, erosion and rollback remain poorly understood, and interventions to redistribute beach material are continuous. Furthermore, the beach experiences lowering of the sandy foreshore, though the exact drivers for this remain unknown. A better understanding of the dynamics of this barrier is thus needed to inform future management. The aim of the project is to apply a novel method for measuring shoreface processes (in shallow waters with a tidal range of 6.1 m), with an emphasis on wave propagation/ transformation and sediment transport across the very shallow nearshore (out to approximately 6m CD water depth). To measure nearshore processes, an array of bottom-mounted instruments will be set up across the shallow foreshore, to define wave progression and energy flux across the beach and to measure vertical velocity and suspended sediment profiles, including a measurement near the bed (Figure 1). This will be complemented by a synoptic wave radar and a sustained survey campaign carried out independently of this tender by a contractor and the university staff using their own equipment. It is anticipated that the wave radar array will be in place by October 2020, for a one-year long deployment. Additional information: The University is utilising an electronic tendering tool, In-Tend (https://intendhost.co.uk/ universityofsouthampton) to manage this procurement and to communicate with tenderers (as appropriate). All documentation in relation to this tender can be downloaded from In-Tend.
