Summary of the contracting process

The Isle of Wight Council is currently engaged in a tender process for the "Ventnor Haven Seaweed Removal" project, which falls under the services category in the agricultural and aquacultural sector. This procurement is taking place in Ventnor, UK, and involves the removal of seaweed to address environmental concerns in the area. The contract is set to be awarded on 4th May 2022, with a potential duration of two years, and the option to extend for an additional 12 months based on the council's discretion. The procurement method used here is a limited procedure, allowing the authority to invite specific suppliers without a public call for competition.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in marine services, particularly those with capabilities in dredging, aquatic management, or environmental maintenance. Companies with innovation in dredging technologies, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) like Cheetah Marine International Ltd, which has previously engaged in this area, are particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging in this project could lead to sustained contracts as local authorities increasingly seek effective solutions for environmental remediation.

Notice Title

Ventnor Haven Seaweed Removal

Notice Description

Ventnor Haven Seaweed Removal

Lot Information

Lot 1

Seaweed removal at Ventnor Haven, Isle of Wight until 31 March 2023 with the option to extend for as further 12 months at the discretion of the Authority. Additional information: Any values listed are estimated and for the total contract period including any extension period.

Procurement Information

The Isle of Wight Council has awarded a contract for a period of up to 2 years for the provision of seaweed removal from Ventnor Haven on the Isle of Wight using the negotiated procedure without prior publication on the basis that the management of the Haven was tendered previously with only 1 bidder showing interest. The bidder has invested, designed and manufactured its own specialist plant to dredge, macerate and pump the seaweed from the harbour. It is not deemed cost effective to put this out to tender due to high plant costs combined with the intention that within the 2-year period of this contract, the management and possibly ownership of the harbour will either transfer to a third party or if unsuccessful be advertised for a private operator to take over. Sediment and seaweed at Ventnor Haven has been a serious problem since the Haven was constructed in 2003. Sand and seaweed are continuously carried into the haven in suspension especially during periods of rough weather. Once trapped within the Haven the seaweed breaks down anaerobically producing noxious fumes including hydrogen sulphide based compounds known to be dangerous to health. The sand accumulates within the entrance forming a sand bar which reduces the time-frame that the Haven can be accessed for the local fishing fleet. To combat the problem the supplier has developed a shallow water mini dredger. The authority observed a 10 day standstill period which will expired at midnight on 03/05/2022.
