Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the Weymouth Harbour Walls F&G Replacement Scheme, overseen by Dorset Council, has reached the award stage. This project, located in the United Kingdom, specifically in England, falls under the industry category of construction work for water projects (CPV code: 45240000). The scheme involves the installation of sheet piles as part of essential flood defence upgrades at Weymouth Harbour. The tender process was completed using an open procedure, with tenders having been invited by 7th November 2024. The contract, awarded to Knights Brown Construction Ltd, is valued at approximately £5,209,964.83, with work scheduled to commence on 1st April 2025 and conclude by 31st October 2025.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for principal contractors experienced in large-scale water-related construction projects. With a substantial budget and a clear demand for specialised construction skills, companies in the construction sector, particularly those with capabilities in sheet piling and marine infrastructure, will find this contract highly relevant. Given that SMEs or VCSEs were deemed unsuitable, this opportunity aligns more with larger established firms equipped to handle complex engineering requirements and detailed project specifications typical of substantial infrastructure undertakings.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Weymouth Harbour Walls F&G Replacement Scheme

Notice Description

Weymouth Harbour Walls F&G are the north and east facing walls that make up part of the Weymouth Peninsula. The harbour walls are in poor condition and need to be replaced as soon as practicably possible. The work will involve the installation of nearly 500m of PU sheet piles a meter in front of the old sheet piles. The first 175m of sheet piles from the start of Wall G at the beach will be cantilevered and the remaining portion of Wall G as well as the whole of Wall F will be supported by tie rods connecting the new sheet piles to the old anchor blocks. The capping beam on top of the old sheet piles will be demolished and a new reinforced capping beam will be constructed at a fixed level on top of the new sheet piles to provide necessary flood defences. Tenders are being sought from suitable principal contractors for these requirements.
