UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Kent Marshes Water Level Management Board procured the supply, installation and commissioning of a tilting weir for the Elverton Sluice Project. The equipment is intended to improve water level management within the Luddenham and Banks Marsh drainage district. This is a goods requirement involving sluice gates and associated installation and commissioning work, delivered in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is based in Sittingbourne and manages water-level infrastructure for the North Kent Marshes. The requirement is relevant to manufacturers, specialist suppliers and engineering contractors able to provide tilting weirs or sluice gates, undertake installation, and commission water-control equipment in a drainage or marshland environment.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition, with one completed lot. The contract was signed on 25 June 2026 and runs from 26 June 2026 to 31 October 2027. The awarded supplier is AQUATIC CONTROL ENGINEERING LIMITED. The contract value is £54,260 excluding VAT and £65,112 including VAT. The contract title is Supply and Commissioning of Tilting Weir. The award covers the sluice-gate requirement and its related lot. The outcome indicates that the Board selected a single supplier for delivery of the equipment and associated commissioning services rather than running a competitive tender.

This procurement provides a clear example of the Board’s demand for engineered water-control equipment supporting drainage and marshland management. Suppliers seeking to compete when a similar requirement returns would need credible capability in designing or supplying tilting weirs or sluice gates, together with the practical capacity to install and commission them. Relevant experience of drainage districts, sluices, waterways, flood-management assets or comparable water-level infrastructure would strengthen a supplier’s position. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that this type of specialist requirement can be delivered by a focused smaller engineering business rather than only a major infrastructure contractor. Businesses with suitable fabrication, mechanical installation, commissioning and site-delivery capability should monitor this buyer’s related requirements.
