Summary of the contracting process

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council appointed a contractor to remove the sandbar that forms annually at the entrance to Newcastle Harbour. The work involves extracting the accumulated sediment, transporting it north to a predetermined section of beach and levelling it into the existing beach sand so it disperses naturally back into the coastal system. This is civil engineering and earthmoving work, classified under CPV 45112500. Delivery is at Newcastle Harbour and the designated beach area. The requirement concerns annual sandbar removal over a two-year period, covering the 2026 and 2027 seasons. It is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The council is the buying organisation.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. Bids were due by 30 April 2026, and the award was made on 30 July 2026. Elvis Kirk Contracts was selected for a contract valued at £27,000. The awarded contract period runs from 1 May 2026 to 31 August 2026. Evaluation was carried out through the open competition for the specified earthmoving works. The award is active and the tender is complete. The published requirement described annual removal over a two-year period, while the awarded contract period covers the 2026 delivery window. No lots or separate awards are identified, so the stated value relates to the single awarded requirement.

This award indicates demand from Newry, Mourne and Down District Council for specialist coastal earthmoving that combines sediment removal, short-distance relocation and controlled beach reprofiling. A credible future supplier would need suitable plant and operators for working at a harbour entrance and on a beach, together with the practical ability to excavate, move and spread sand without disrupting the intended coastal dispersal. Relevant experience in harbour, shoreline, marine or beach-maintenance works would help demonstrate understanding of tidal and sediment conditions. Suppliers should also be able to plan recurring seasonal operations, coordinate access and safely manage work around a working harbour and public beach. The requirement is appropriately scaled for an SME with the necessary equipment, supervision and environmental working practices.
