Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Southend-on-Sea Borough Council procured construction and associated architectural, engineering and inspection services for the Leigh Port Regeneration Scheme. The requirement covers continuing pre-construction activities and delivering early works connected with the regeneration of Leigh Port and proposed dredging of the adjacent channel. Activities include design development, surveys, investigations, stakeholder engagement, site preparation and other enabling works needed before the wider regeneration programme. The work is located in Leigh-on-Sea, Southend-on-Sea, in the East of England. It is classified primarily as construction work, with additional scope for architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services. The requirement is therefore suited to major civil engineering and infrastructure contractors able to combine design coordination, technical investigations and early site delivery within a port regeneration setting.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 23 July 2026 to Balfour Beatty Civil Engineering Ltd. The contract value is £700,000, with a contract period from 24 July 2026 to 31 December 2026. The tender submission deadline was 3 July 2026 at 3pm. It was a selective procurement using a direct-award call-off from the SCAPE Civil Engineering Generation 3 Framework, rather than an open competition. The award is active and the contract is identified as complete at process level. Southend-on-Sea Borough Council is the buyer. The award outcome reflects a framework-based appointment for the defined early works and pre-construction requirement, with the supplier selected through the framework’s direct-award route. Participation was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates demand from Southend-on-Sea Borough Council for integrated civil engineering support at Leigh Port, combining pre-construction management with practical enabling works. A credible future competitor would need strong capability in design development, site surveys, technical investigations, stakeholder engagement and site preparation, as well as the capacity to mobilise and deliver early construction activities. Experience of port, waterfront or marine infrastructure would be particularly relevant because the wider scheme includes proposed dredging of an adjacent channel. Suppliers should be able to coordinate engineering and inspection services with physical works and manage interfaces between the council, stakeholders, designers and delivery teams. The completed appointment also indicates that the buyer uses the SCAPE Civil Engineering Generation 3 Framework and that this requirement was delivered through a direct-award call-off.
