Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Defra group Commercial procured consultancy services, including design work, for the Saltfleet to Gibraltar Point Coastal Asset Management project. The work concerns coastal asset management along the Saltfleet to Gibraltar Point coastline, with delivery associated with Peterborough and the East Midlands. The requirement was for professional construction consultancy rather than physical construction works. It formed part of the Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire Collaborative Delivery Framework, under its coastal asset management consultancy lot.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Ove Arup & Partners Limited on 14 October 2026. The award value was £725,578. The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 March 2027. The requirement was placed as a selective call-off from a framework agreement, rather than through a standalone open competition. The estimated tender value was also £725,578. The procurement was assessed as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The stated requirement covers consultancy and design services for coastal assets; the published procurement information does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or specific award criteria.

For suppliers who did not win, this award demonstrates demand from Defra group Commercial for specialist coastal asset management consultancy and design. A credible competitor for this buyer’s comparable requirement would need to show relevant construction consultancy expertise, including the ability to develop designs for coastal assets and support their management. The selected supplier was Ove Arup & Partners Limited, and the procurement’s stated unsuitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that the buyer positioned the work for suppliers with the scale and capacity to deliver the requirement through a framework call-off. Firms seeking to compete when this specific consultancy requirement returns should be able to evidence delivery experience in coastal asset projects and fit the framework route used by the buyer.
