UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Kent Marshes Water Level Management Board procured the supply and delivery of rip rap rock armour, also described as limestone, for tidal flood-defence bank protection and erosion-repair works under its South Sheppey maintenance programme. This is a goods requirement involving bulk aggregate materials and their delivery for coastal and water-level management infrastructure. The work is associated with South Sheppey and delivery was arranged across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, the South East and the South West. The buying organisation is a public authority based in Sittingbourne. The requirement is therefore relevant to quarrying, aggregate supply, haulage and coastal or flood-defence contractors able to provide suitable rock armour and dependable distribution.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. One lot was awarded to GALLAGHER AGGREGATES LIMITED, an SME. The award is active and the contract was signed on 12 June 2026. The contract runs from 4 August 2026 to 31 August 2026. Its value is £70,875 excluding VAT and £85,050 including VAT. The contract covers the supply and delivery of the rock armour for the South Sheppey maintenance programme. The tender was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive assessment, and the procurement is recorded as a completed process. The selected supplier is responsible for fulfilling the single awarded requirement during the stated contract period.

This award demonstrates a buyer’s need for short-duration, operationally focused supplies of rock armour to maintain tidal flood-defence banks and repair erosion. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would have access to consistent supplies of suitable limestone or rip rap, the ability to meet the required material specification and sufficient stock or production capacity for maintenance demand. Reliable delivery across England would also be important, supported by suitable haulage arrangements, scheduling and site coordination. Relevant businesses include aggregate producers, specialist rock suppliers, merchants with bulk-material networks and logistics providers working with flood-defence or water-management contractors. Experience supplying infrastructure maintenance materials, responding to practical site requirements and maintaining dependable delivery performance would strengthen a future competitor’s credibility with this buyer.
