Summary of the contracting process

Associated British Ports procured ecological mitigation and related maintenance works for multiple sites in and around Port Talbot. The requirement combines environmental services and construction work, including groundworks; habitat and vegetation clearance; reed, scrub and topsoil removal; wildlife fencing for reptiles and amphibians; construction of limestone bunds, wet scrapes, egg heaps, hibernacula and other habitats; soil relocation and translocation, including Orobanche picridis seed and soil; invasive species control; and ecological supervision, monitoring and checks. The work is being delivered for Associated British Ports, a private utility, with activity centred on Port Talbot. It is a utilities works requirement involving both practical ecological construction and continuing environmental management.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through an open procedure. The tender closed on 22 May 2026 at 12:00, the award was made on 23 July 2026, and the contract period runs from 17 August 2026 to 17 August 2030. Five Rivers Environmental Contracting Ltd was selected for the requirement. The awarded value is £4,470,546.40 excluding VAT and £5,364,655.68 including VAT. Evaluation weighted quality at 60%, based on the technical assessment, and cost at 40%, based on the contract sum. The contract is above the relevant threshold and covers one completed lot. Electronic submission was allowed in English.

This procurement indicates demand from Associated British Ports for suppliers able to combine ecological expertise with construction delivery across several operational sites. Credible competitors would need practical experience of habitat creation, groundworks, vegetation and reed clearance, scrub removal, topsoil stripping, soil and seed translocation, and invasive species management. They would also need to install, maintain and remove reptile and amphibian fencing and construct specialist features such as wet scrapes, egg heaps, hibernacula and limestone bunds. The requirement favours businesses that can provide ecological supervision, monitoring and site checks alongside physical works, coordinate activity across multiple locations, and manage environmental risks throughout delivery. The award to an SME shows that this type of requirement can be delivered by a suitably capable specialist environmental contractor.
