Summary of the contracting process

Thanet District Council has successfully completed the procurement process for the "Margate Harbour Arm Stabilisation" project, categorised under construction work for water projects. The contracting process, initiated by tender, was concluded with the award of contract on 23rd June 2026. Located in Margate, this project was carried out to stabilise the seaward stone wall of the Harbour Arm. The procurement method was a limited competition below threshold, with the contract valued at £160,452.29 gross. The contract commenced on 3rd March 2026 and concluded on 1st May 2026, with Ovenden Allworks Limited appointed as the supplier.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses involved in specialised construction works, specifically those skilled in water-related infrastructure projects.

This contract underscores the potential for businesses to expand their portfolio by engaging in public sector construction projects, particularly through limited competition methods which encourage participation from niche market players.
