Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency has concluded the procurement process titled "SE - AOMR Lot 1 - Mill Leese FSA Fence Replacement" in the industry category of civil engineering consultancy services. This project, located in Saltwood, Hythe, Kent (CT21 4QU), is part of the Hythe Protection Scheme. The tender, with a value of £325,763.10, involved replacing fencing in the flood storage area to a design with a minimum lifespan of 25 years. The procurement stage has advanced to completion with the contract awarded to Carnell Support Services. The process was conducted through a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement, with the contract period running from 15th December 2025 to 16th November 2026.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in civil engineering works, particularly those capable of delivering robust and long-lasting infrastructure improvements. It is particularly suited for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) given the Agency's openness to SME engagement. Businesses specialising in construction or fence installation, and with proven expertise in handling similar projects, would be well-placed to compete in this domain. As the procurement process was executed through a call-off from a framework, those already part of government frameworks would find it easier to participate in future opportunities of this nature.
