Summary of the contracting process

The Borough Council of King's Lynn and West Norfolk is seeking to establish a Framework Agreement for both routine and emergency repairs of the Hunstanton coastal defences in West Norfolk. The procurement process, currently in the Tender stage, is managed via an open competition method with the framework set to consist of up to four contractors. The total contract value is approximately £480,000, and it falls under the industry category of coastal-defence works, specifically targeting concrete and asphalt surface repairs among other tasks. The deadline for tender submissions has been extended to 15th October 2025, ensuring adequate time for prospective bidders. The contract is scheduled to commence on 1st January 2026 and will run until the end of 2027, with potential renewal options extending to 2029.

This tender presents notable opportunities for businesses specialising in construction and coastal repair works, particularly those experienced with concrete and asphalt repairs. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are especially encouraged to participate, as the framework promotes a competitive, open procurement method that is accessible to businesses of all sizes. The Borough Council's emphasis on criteria such as methodology, environmental risk management, and social value means that businesses with strong credentials in these areas stand a good chance of securing a position within this framework. Additionally, with the provision for a framework agreement and reopening competition, it offers multiple opportunities for recurring work throughout the contract period, thus fostering long-term business growth.
