Summary of the contracting process

Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council procured design-and-build construction works for urgent protection and reinstatement of a slipway on Redcar seafront. The requirement falls within construction and civil engineering works, covering both design and physical delivery of protection and reinstatement measures at the slipway. The work is to be delivered in Redcar for the council. The procurement was run as a further competition under the NEPO211 Civil Engineering and Infrastructure Works Framework, indicating a requirement suited to contractors already within that framework. The selected supplier, BCE Northern, is an SME based in Gateshead. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement is focused on coastal or waterfront infrastructure rather than general building, routine maintenance or supplies.

The procurement has reached the awarded and contracted stage. It used a limited procedure without a prior published call for competition, through the NEPO211 framework. Three bids were recorded. The award date was 8 September 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. BCE Northern was selected for the Redcar slipway protection and reinstatement requirement. The contract value is £500,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. Evaluation placed 80% of the weighting on quality and 20% on price. The procurement record marks the single lot as cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active, so the published outcome contains that status inconsistency.

This award demonstrates demand from Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council for urgent, design-and-build civil engineering on coastal infrastructure. Competitors seeking similar work would need to combine practical construction capability with the ability to design and deliver protection and reinstatement measures for a slipway or comparable waterfront asset. The evaluation gives quality four times the weighting of price, so a credible future response would need to show a strong technical approach, robust delivery planning and clear control of construction risks, rather than relying on a low-cost offer alone. Suppliers already qualified for the NEPO211 Civil Engineering and Infrastructure Works Framework would be best placed to follow this route. The awarded supplier's SME status also indicates that the requirement can be delivered by a suitably capable specialist contractor rather than only a major national firm.
