Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence procured marine consenting services for the Gosport Waterfront Munitions Handling Facility at Bedenham Pier in the South East of England. The requirement is for specialist support to obtain a Marine Licence for construction of a new pier, with the physical pier construction carried out by others. This is a marine regulatory and consenting assignment linked to pier construction work, rather than a construction contract for the pier itself. The procurement is categorised as a service and relates to CPV 45241300, pier construction work. The work would suit organisations providing marine licensing, consenting, environmental and regulatory expertise for major waterfront or marine infrastructure projects.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Haskoning UK Limited on 20 August 2026. The award value is £1,369,232.43, with a contract period from 20 August 2026 to 31 July 2030. It was conducted as a selective procedure through a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 30 June 2026 at 5pm. The Ministry of Defence selected one supplier for the marine consenting requirement. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and was evaluated as a service procurement connected with obtaining the Marine Licence needed for the new Bedenham Pier facility.

This award demonstrates sustained Ministry of Defence demand for specialist marine consenting support connected with complex waterfront infrastructure. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable expertise in preparing and securing Marine Licences, understanding marine planning and regulatory requirements, and coordinating evidence and submissions for a new pier project. Experience of working alongside a separate construction contractor would be relevant, as would the ability to manage a long-running consenting assignment from application through engagement with regulators and other stakeholders. The requirement is suitable for an SME-scale specialist provider, although successful delivery would require sufficient technical depth, project management capacity and experience of comparable marine infrastructure or sensitive government projects. A framework route may also be important for accessing similar requirements.
