Summary of the contracting process

City of York Council is procuring flood alleviation works at Germany Beck in York. The requirement covers the installation of measures to prevent and manage flooding, classified as flood-prevention works, with an associated services element. The work is a construction project rather than a supply-only contract and is intended for delivery at Germany Beck. It is a single requirement, with the procurement divided into one lot. The council is the public-sector buyer responsible for the opportunity. Businesses specialising in flood defence, water management, civil engineering, earthworks, drainage or related construction services may find the scope relevant, particularly where they can deliver works in a location exposed to ground, weather, flooding and environmental constraints.

The process reached tender: City of York Council invited offers through an open procedure. The deadline for enquiries was 24 September 2026 at 12:00, and the deadline for submitting offers was 8 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2027, with the award decision due by 19 November 2026. The estimated value is £5.3 million excluding VAT, or £6.54 million including VAT. Offers are evaluated on price at 40%, budgeting and programming at 25%, experience and technical capability at 15%, health and safety, environment and quality at 10%, and social value at 10%. The submission language is English, and electronic submission is allowed. The tender deadline was extended twice.

This opportunity suits construction and civil engineering contractors with practical experience delivering flood alleviation, flood defence, drainage or related infrastructure works. Strong bidders will need to demonstrate relevant experience and technical capability, together with credible budgeting and programming for a substantial, year-long works programme. The evaluation also places weight on health and safety, environmental management and quality controls, so suppliers should be able to explain how these will be managed during delivery. Social value forms part of the assessment, creating scope for proposals that provide wider community benefits. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it potentially accessible to specialist SMEs as well as larger contractors. Delivery planning should account for design, political, ground-condition, weather, flooding, third-party, environmental and planning risks.
