Summary of the contracting process

Northumberland County Council commissioned beach management works at Newbiggin Bay, in Northumberland. The work covers sand reprofiling and sand recycling: reshaping sand on the beach and reusing it within the bay as part of its management. This is a coastal construction and earthworks requirement, rather than a general construction project. The council is the buyer, and the work takes place at Newbiggin Bay. The procurement was arranged as one package covering the described beach management operations. The requirement shows the council’s use of contracted works to manage beach sand at this location.

The procurement is complete and a contract was awarded to North East Earthworks Ltd. The contract was signed on 22 September 2026 and runs from 23 to 30 September 2026. Its value is £62,980.62 excluding VAT (£75,576.74 including VAT). The original estimated value was £67,500 excluding VAT (£81,000 including VAT). The council used an open competition below the relevant threshold. The tender deadline was 16 September 2026 at 12:00. The single lot was evaluated on price, weighted at 80%, and quality, weighted at 20%.

For future beach management work at Newbiggin Bay, a credible supplier would need to deliver sand reprofiling and recycling as a coordinated coastal works service. Relevant practical capability includes handling and moving beach sand, reshaping it to the required profile and reusing it effectively within the bay. The completed contract demonstrates that the council has procured a focused, short-duration package rather than a broad coastal engineering programme. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable for the requirement, and the selected supplier is an SME. Competition placed substantially greater weight on price than quality, so suppliers would need to demonstrate a cost-effective delivery plan alongside the ability to complete the specified operations to the required standard.
