UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Southend-on-Sea City Council commissioned works to install lamp columns along Southend Pier, including associated ironwork needed to support the posts. This is a physical installation project in the street furniture and public-realm works sector, rather than a supply-only requirement. The work is delivered at Southend Pier in Southend-on-Sea, Essex. The requirement would suit contractors able to combine metalwork, installation and infrastructure works in a coastal or exposed public location. It may be relevant to mechanical engineering, fabrication, street-furniture installation and public-realm contractors with the equipment and site controls needed to work on a pier.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to UKI Mechanical Ltd, a small and medium-sized enterprise. The contract was signed on 24 July 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 1 November 2026. Its value is £58,708 excluding VAT, or £70,449.60 including VAT. The procurement was a below-threshold procedure, with the specific method recorded as unknown. It comprised one completed lot covering the pier lamp-column installation and associated ironwork. The award is active and the contract is active. The stated requirement description also gives a value of £58,708, consistent with the awarded contract value excluding VAT.

This procurement is useful market evidence for contractors tracking Southend-on-Sea City Council’s demand for specialist public-realm and pier infrastructure works. A credible future competitor would need practical experience installing lamp columns or comparable street furniture, together with fabrication or installation capability for associated ironwork. The requirement points to a supplier able to manage a complete works package rather than provide components alone. Experience working safely in constrained, exposed or coastal environments would strengthen a supplier’s position, as would the operational capacity to coordinate site access, installation activities and completion within a short works programme. Small and medium-sized engineering or mechanical contractors can be relevant competitors for this type of requirement.
