UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Isle of Wight Council procured beach and slipway cleaning services across the Isle of Wight. The work covers 16 designated amenity beaches and 22 managed slipways, including slipways with permanent beach access steps. Its purpose is to remove litter and refuse, manage natural algae growth and maintain coastal recreational assets so they remain as safe as reasonably practicable for residents, visitors and marine and beach activities. The service also supports the Island’s tourism offer and public enjoyment. This is a public-sector environmental maintenance and coastal asset cleaning requirement, classified as beach cleaning services. Delivery is at locations throughout the Isle of Wight, for the Council as the local litter authority and owner or occupier of the relevant assets.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Brighstone Landscaping Limited. The Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 1 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £100,000 excluding VAT and £120,000 including VAT. One lot was completed, covering the full beach and slipway cleaning requirement. The award is active and the contract is active. The recorded procurement rationale describes the agreement as a one-year arrangement allowing time for a formal re-tender. Evaluation was therefore through a direct, non-competitive route rather than a scored open competition.

This requirement demonstrates recurring demand from Isle of Wight Council for specialist coastal cleaning and environmental maintenance. A credible future competitor would need suitably qualified staff, equipment and operating arrangements to service 16 amenity beaches and 22 managed slipways across the Island, including access steps and other recreational coastal assets. Relevant capability includes litter and refuse removal, algae-growth management, safe cleaning around public access points and reliable delivery across multiple dispersed locations. Experience maintaining beaches, slipways or comparable public-facing outdoor assets would help demonstrate competence, safety awareness and understanding of statutory cleanliness and duty-of-care obligations. The successful supplier is an Isle of Wight-based SME, indicating that local operational presence may support delivery, although the requirement is focused on capability rather than organisation size.

Notice Description

The Authority requires the provision of Beach and Slipway Cleaning at locations on the Isle of Wight. This is a one year agreement to allow time to formally re-tender. This service will cover the 16 designated amenity beaches and 22 managed slipways, including those with permanent beach access steps.
