Summary of the contracting process

Canterbury City Council procured works to reface the Westbrook Outfall using reinforced concrete. The requirement is a civil engineering and coastal-defence project, involving the repair or renewal of an outfall structure rather than a general construction service. Delivery is in the Canterbury area of Kent. The council is the public-sector buyer and appointed a supplier to carry out the works. The procurement is suited to contractors with practical experience in concrete construction, outfall or drainage structures, and coastal or water-management assets. Its focus is a defined physical infrastructure intervention at one site, so businesses should assess their ability to mobilise suitable site teams, plant and materials for this type of specialist repair work.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded under a below-threshold tender process, with one completed lot. Canterbury City Council awarded the contract to OVENDEN ALLWORKS LIMITED on 1 July 2026. The award value is £124,719.15 excluding VAT and £149,662.98 including VAT. The contract was signed on 24 July 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 1 October 2026. The award covers coastal-defence works associated with the Westbrook Outfall refacing. The available record identifies the tender as below threshold and does not set out a separate evaluation weighting or named award criterion. The appointed supplier is an SME, providing a relevant benchmark for the scale and type of contractor selected.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear indication of Canterbury City Council’s demand for specialist infrastructure repair. A credible competitor for a comparable future requirement would need demonstrable capability in reinforced-concrete construction and repair, particularly on outfalls, drainage assets or coastal-defence structures. Relevant experience should include working safely around water or exposed infrastructure, planning site access and temporary works, controlling concrete quality, and completing a defined intervention within a short delivery window. Contractors should also be able to provide competent site supervision, suitable plant and a reliable supply chain for civil engineering materials. The award to an SME suggests that businesses of this scale, with directly relevant delivery experience and practical mobilisation capacity, may be well placed.
