The project undertakes the refurbishment and replacement of MEICA elements to ensure the maintenance of current protection standards. Key dates include the contract period from 15th January 2026 to 16th November 2026, and the tender period which ended on 29th December 2025. The contract holds a value of £352,290.12 GBP.

This tender provides significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in infrastructure consultancy services, particularly those with capabilities in design and engineering for environmental projects.
