Summary of the contracting process

Medway Council procured river wall construction works at Temple Marsh. The scope covers construction and protection of a river wall, river regulation and flood-control works, riverbank protection, landscaping and pathway works. This is a civil engineering and flood-defence requirement, classified as works. The activity is to be delivered at Temple Marsh in the Medway Council area. The requirement is organised as a single package and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It would suit contractors able to undertake river-wall and riverbank protection works alongside associated landscaping and pathway construction, rather than suppliers focused solely on general building or routine maintenance. The selected supplier, Suttle Projects Ltd, is an SME based in Poole.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. Suttle Projects Ltd was selected, and the contract was signed on 7 August 2026. The contract runs from 11 August 2026 to 10 August 2027, with one optional three-month extension available to 10 November 2027. The tender estimated value was £500 excluding VAT (£600 including VAT); the awarded contract value is £238,963.34 excluding VAT (£286,756 including VAT). The tender closed for bids at 17:00 on 29 June 2026, with enquiries closing at 17:00 on 22 June 2026. Evaluation weighted quality at 50%, price at 45% and social value at 5%.

This award indicates that Medway Council buys specialist flood-defence and river-edge construction, combining structural river-wall work with environmental and access improvements. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in river-wall construction, riverbank protection, river regulation and flood-control works, together with the ability to deliver landscaping and pathways as part of one coordinated package. The evaluation gives quality slightly greater importance than price, so evidence of a robust delivery approach, technical understanding, workmanship and risk management would matter alongside competitive pricing. The social value element also means suppliers should be able to offer measurable wider community benefits. The requirement is accessible to SMEs, suggesting a suitably resourced specialist contractor or an SME-led team with relevant delivery capacity.
