Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency procured coastal protection works to remove and recycle excess shingle from Hastings, with an approximate volume of 7,000 cubic metres. The material was to be relocated for beach management at Pevensey Bay, maintaining the beach’s designed profile and the coastal frontage’s required standard of protection. The requirement sits within practical coastal and land-transport support services, including handling, moving, placing and recycling beach shingle. It is relevant to contractors delivering beach nourishment, shingle recycling, coastal engineering, flood-risk management or related civil engineering works. The delivery locations are Hastings and Pevensey Bay in the South East of England. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that the work was not limited to large commercial contractors.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The award was made on 8 April 2026 to Canterbury City Council for £289,380 including the stated award value. The contract period ran from 27 April 2026 to 11 May 2026. The tender’s estimated value range was £289,380 to £400,000. Bids closed at 12:00 on 2 March 2026. The main category was works, and the procurement method was recorded as ‘Other’. The awarded requirement covered the full stated shingle-removal and recycling works for the Hastings to Pevensey Bay operation. The published process identifies an active award and does not identify separate lots. This outcome shows the route used by the Environment Agency for a defined, short-duration coastal maintenance project of material operational scale.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible suppliers would need practical capability in coastal maintenance and flood-defence works, with the plant, transport and workforce to handle and relocate approximately 7,000 cubic metres of beach shingle. Experience in shingle recycling, beach nourishment, maintaining designed beach profiles and working along a coastal frontage would be directly relevant. Contractors should be able to plan movements between Hastings and Pevensey Bay, manage marine or shoreline working conditions, and deliver safely within a tightly defined operational window. The award to Canterbury City Council indicates that a public-sector organisation with delivery capacity in coastal or civil engineering work can compete successfully. The stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises also points to scope for capable specialist firms, partnerships or subcontractors rather than only national major contractors.
