Summary of the contracting process

Portsmouth City Council procured marine infrastructure maintenance works at Albert Johnson Quay and Flathouse Quay in Portsmouth. The scope covers repairs and replacements to quay fenders and ladders, replacement of grab chains, installation of low-friction fender panels, replacement of bolts and fixings, fabrication of oversized washers, and associated maintenance of marine infrastructure. This is marine construction work, classified under CPV 45244000. The requirement concerns physical maintenance of working quay facilities, including specialist fabrication, installation and repair activities. It is therefore relevant to marine contractors, quay and port infrastructure specialists, marine engineering firms, and businesses able to carry out practical repair works in a waterfront environment. Portsmouth City Council is the buying organisation and Portsmouth is the delivery location.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold tender procedure; the published method is recorded as unknown. It consisted of one lot. Baker Trayte Marine Limited was awarded the contract, which was signed on 10 August 2026. The contract runs from 17 August 2026 to 27 November 2026 and has a gross value of £61,380. The contract is active and the award is active. The requirement was evaluated through the tender process leading to this award, with the selected supplier responsible for the complete marine maintenance scope. This outcome identifies the buyer, route and commercial scale for comparable work, although the procurement data does not set out a separate award date or detailed scoring basis.

This award demonstrates Portsmouth City Council’s demand for specialist maintenance of port and quay infrastructure, rather than general building maintenance. A credible future competitor would need practical marine construction capability covering fender systems, ladders, grab chains, low-friction panels, bolts, fixings and bespoke metalwork such as oversized washers. Experience working safely around operational waterfront assets would be commercially relevant, alongside the ability to undertake varied repair, replacement, fabrication and installation tasks within a single requirement. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that the work can suit a focused marine contractor with the necessary technical skills and delivery capacity, rather than only a large national infrastructure business. Firms serving ports, quays, harbours or similar marine facilities should monitor this buyer’s comparable requirements.
