UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dover District Council procured construction works for the Walmer Boardwalk. The requirement covers the physical construction of the boardwalk at Walmer, in the Dover area. It is a works contract rather than a supply or professional services opportunity, and the relevant activity is general construction work (CPV 45000000). The council is the buying organisation and the work is associated with delivery in the Dover area of Kent. The procurement concerns one defined construction requirement, with the completed lot covering the boardwalk works. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are construction contractors with the practical capability to undertake boardwalk construction and associated site delivery work for a local authority.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Ovenden Allworks Ltd was selected for the single lot, and the contract was signed on 27 July 2026. The award date is not separately recorded, but the supplier and award are confirmed. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 12 September 2026. Its value is £43,672.28 excluding VAT, or £52,406.74 including VAT. The contract is active. The published outcome records the procurement as general construction works and confirms that the selected supplier is an SME. No separate evaluation weighting or award criteria are stated in the procurement information.

This completed contract is useful market evidence for construction businesses tracking Dover District Council’s requirements. It shows the council used a below-threshold limited competition route for a defined, local construction project and appointed an SME contractor, indicating that opportunities of this scale can be delivered by smaller specialist or general construction firms rather than only major contractors. A credible competitor for a future Walmer boardwalk requirement would need demonstrable construction capability, practical delivery capacity for a concentrated project, and experience managing works for a public-sector client. Relevant firms may include contractors able to coordinate site operations, labour, materials and construction quality for boardwalk or comparable public-realm infrastructure works.
