Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council procured construction and civil engineering works at Forge Dam in Yorkshire and the Humber. The project involved installing a temporary aquadam to provide access to the work area, followed by masonry repointing to defective sections of the dam wall between the weir and overflow penstock. This is a specialist water-retaining structure repair rather than general building work, with the requirement classified under CPV 45200000. The buying organisation is Sheffield City Council. The completed scope is relevant to contractors experienced in dam, weir, sluice, masonry, temporary water-control and civil engineering works, particularly where safe access and repair in a water environment are required.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Esh Construction Ltd on 27 July 2026. The award value was £105,582.17, and the contract runs from 10 August 2026 to 23 September 2026. The tender submission deadline was 3 July 2026 at 5pm. Sheffield City Council used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open standalone tender. The selected supplier is recorded as a large organisation. The contract is categorised as works and covers the full Forge Dam repair requirement. The award is active, with the contract period matching the dates stated for delivery of the construction works.

For competitors, this award provides a clear example of Sheffield City Council’s demand for targeted dam infrastructure repairs delivered through a framework call-off. A credible future supplier would need practical experience of masonry repointing and civil engineering on dam or weir structures, together with the ability to create safe temporary access using an aquadam or comparable water-control arrangement. The requirement also points to the importance of managing work beside or within a live water environment, protecting the structure while defective areas are repaired, and coordinating a short, defined construction programme. The council’s use of a framework and selection of a large contractor indicate that relevant framework access, delivery capacity and comparable project experience would be important.
