Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the Hunstanton Coastal Defence Project Design & Consultation has been conducted by King's Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council, a regional authority based in King's Lynn, located in the UKH16 region. This contract, completed as of 14th April 2026, falls under the services category with specific emphasis on structural engineering consultancy services. The procurement utilised a limited method without prior publication of a call for competition, justified by its alignment with the SCAPE Civil Engineering Framework and falling outside directive application. The procurement stage is currently at the Award stage, with Balfour Beatty PLC being the awarded supplier for the contract signed on 28th February 2026, at a value of £193,000.

This tender presents a growth opportunity for businesses specialising in structural engineering consultancy, especially those capable of providing design and consultation services for capital works projects. The procurement was targeted through a limited method, suggesting a need for expertise and readiness to engage in framework agreements. Large-scale firms, such as Balfour Beatty PLC, which possess the capability to meet such specialised and stringent requirements, would find themselves well-suited to compete in similar future opportunities facilitated by regional authorities like the King's Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council. Businesses seeking to expand in the regional public services sector may find strategic partnerships under frameworks highly advantageous.
