Summary of the contracting process

This procurement covered a pre-construction services agreement for the refurbishment of the Beach Patrol facility and a micro venue at Clacton Beach. The work was categorised as construction, with associated architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services. The scope included developing the design, reviewing buildability, preparing programmes and cost plans, managing risks, planning procurement, liaising with stakeholders and preparing proposals for a possible later design-and-build construction contract. The delivery location was Clacton Beach in Essex. Essex County Council is identified as the buyer, while the procurement description refers to Tendring District Council in connection with the project. The arrangement concerned works and professional pre-construction support rather than the main construction works themselves. The council retained discretion over whether to proceed to a subsequent design-and-build contract after the pre-construction phase.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 11 August 2026 to Re-Gen (UK) Construction Limited. The award value was £48,810 including the stated currency of GBP. The awarded contract period ran from 12 August 2026 to 5 October 2026. The tender submission deadline was 8 May 2026 at 12:00. The procedure used was a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender record gives an estimated contract period from 11 August 2026 to 5 October 2026, while the award records the operative period as 12 August 2026 to 5 October 2026. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It was a single requirement covering the pre-construction services package, with Re-Gen (UK) Construction Limited recorded as the successful supplier.

This award indicates demand for contractors able to support coastal refurbishment projects from early design through to construction planning. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical construction expertise, the ability to undertake design development and buildability reviews, and sufficient commercial capability for cost planning, programming and risk management. Experience of procurement planning and preparing information for a design-and-build contract would also be relevant, as would the ability to coordinate effectively with public-sector stakeholders and project partners. The successful supplier was recorded as an SME, suggesting that a business of similar scale may be capable of delivering this type of pre-construction package. Firms combining construction management with architectural, engineering or inspection expertise would be well placed to compete when comparable work for this buyer returns to market.
