Summary of the contracting process

Brighton and Hove City Council procured coastal protection works for the stretch of coastline from Brighton Marina to the River Adur. The project includes removing existing groynes and beach debris, building new timber groynes, nourishing the beach, and carrying out concrete construction and repair. It is a construction requirement combining marine and coastal engineering with beach works and concrete repair. The work is for the Brighton and Hove coastline, in East Sussex. The project is titled Brighton Marina to River Adur Coastal Scheme, Phase 2. Its purpose is to protect the coastline through a defined programme of physical works rather than provide an ongoing advisory service. The scope also includes shingles as part of the coastal-defence and beach-consolidation works.

The procurement was completed and awarded to Van Oord UK Limited. The award was made on 6 August 2025, and the contract was signed on 22 August 2025. The recorded contract value is £13,605,298 excluding VAT (£16,326,357.60 including VAT). The contract period runs from 26 August 2025 to 18 February 2027. The Council used an open procedure. Bidders were assessed on price, weighted at 60%, and quality, weighted at 40%. The original tender deadline was 6 June 2025; the deadline for enquiries was 23 May 2025. The procurement was divided into one lot covering the coastal scheme. Three bids were recorded, with two reaching the final stage. The selected supplier is a large company.

This award demonstrates demand from Brighton and Hove City Council for substantial coastal protection and beach works, with a single scheme combining groyne removal and construction, beach nourishment, debris clearance, and concrete work and repairs. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to deliver coastal and marine construction as an integrated programme, including timber groyne work and beach consolidation using shingles. The evaluation gave greater weight to quality than price, so suppliers would need to evidence both a competitive commercial offer and a robust delivery approach. Contract performance was tracked against programme delivery, defect remedy and social value, making reliable scheduling, prompt defect resolution and demonstrable social outcomes relevant capabilities. The award went to a large supplier after two bids reached the final stage, indicating competition at this scale.
