Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "South Hams Dredging" project was initiated by South Hams District Council, representing Salcombe Harbour Authority, to engage a contractor for dredging works in various locations within the South Hams area. This process involves water construction projects focused on dredging and pumping works. The council opted for a below-threshold open tender competition, initially launched with a tender notice on 5th November 2025. The tender stage is active, with the submission period closing on 28th November 2025, and enquiries allowed until 21st November 2025. The awarded contract is currently active, with VAN OORD UK LIMITED appointed as the supplier on 11th March 2026, and the contract runs until 11th May 2026, valued at £101,600.

This tender provides a valuable opportunity for businesses in the water construction sector, particularly those involved in dredging and pumping works, to expand their market presence. The project is open to competition, favouring SMEs due to the below-threshold status. Companies adept at balancing cost and quality will find this tender attractive, as the award criteria weigh 60% on price and 40% on quality. With the procurement method designed to encourage open competition, businesses offering efficient water construction methods like Water Injection Dredging, might find this project particularly suited to their capabilities and expertise. This can lead to further business engagement in similar projects managed by local authorities.
