UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

King’s Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council commissioned enhanced structural stability monitoring of the sheet-piled length of Sections F and G of the Hunstanton Coastal Defences. This is a specialist engineering and surveying services requirement covering structural condition monitoring, geological and geophysical consultancy, aerial mapping, survey work, data analysis and environmental monitoring. The work supports assessment of the seawall’s stability and coastal defence condition. Delivery is in the Hunstanton area of Norfolk. The buying organisation is King’s Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council, a sub-central public authority. The requirement is most relevant to firms providing coastal engineering surveys, structural monitoring, geotechnical or geophysical investigation, environmental monitoring, aerial or mapping surveys, and analysis of monitoring data. The selected supplier, Premier Surveys Limited, is a Nottingham-based SME.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, and one supplier was selected: Premier Surveys Limited. The award was made on 9 September 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 10 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £36,250 excluding VAT, or £43,500 including VAT. The procurement has one completed lot covering the structural stability monitoring requirement. The award is for services. The contract remains active following the award. As this was a below-threshold direct award without competition, there was no competitive tender process or published comparison of competing bids. The requirement was evaluated through the council’s direct-award route.

For suppliers that did not win this contract, the procurement indicates a defined demand for specialist monitoring of sheet-piled coastal defences and seawall stability. A credible future competitor would need practical experience in structural or coastal asset monitoring, with the ability to plan and carry out surveys safely in a marine or exposed coastal environment. Relevant capability may include geotechnical and geophysical investigation, aerial mapping, environmental monitoring, engineering surveying and robust analysis of monitoring data. Firms should be able to turn survey observations into clear evidence about structural condition and stability, rather than provide mapping or data in isolation. The requirement also suggests value in multidisciplinary teams that combine field surveying, engineering judgement and technical reporting. A small or medium-sized specialist practice can be credible where it can demonstrate suitable personnel, equipment, quality controls and comparable coastal or seawall experience.
