Castle Point Borough Council is actively seeking a qualified supplier for the "EPP0318 Canvey Lake Management" project, involving critical environmental protection services. This open tender, prioritising surface water treatment and pollution rehabilitation, is aimed at reducing algae blooms in Canvey Lake from summer 2026 to 31 October 2029.

The contract, valued at up to £240,000, is currently in the tender stage with key dates including an enquiry period ending on 20 January 2026, and the tender submission deadline set for 30 January 2026. The procurement method is open procedure, allowing international competition under the GPA agreements, while the primary delivery region is the United Kingdom, specifically Benfleet in Essex.

The open procedure permits a diverse range of enterprises, particularly SMEs, to showcase innovative solutions backed by empirical success in similar projects. Given the emphasis on quality and price—technical execution carrying a 35% weight, technical social value 5%, and competitive pricing 60%—businesses with a robust track record in delivering sustainable water treatment solutions and those capable of managing large-scale environmental projects are well-positioned to partake.
