UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Medway Council is procuring a Strood Flood Defence Strategy, a professional services assignment covering strategy planning for marine conservation and the management or conservation of natural resources. The work is intended to support the authority’s approach to flood defence in Strood and is delivered within the Medway area. It will interest environmental consultancies, flood-risk specialists and natural-resource advisers able to develop strategic plans that combine flood defence considerations with marine conservation and resource management. The procurement is categorised as services, rather than goods or construction works. The council is the public-sector buyer, and the requirement is structured as a single service opportunity for the authority.

The process has reached tender: Medway Council invited quotations through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries were due by 22 September 2026 at 12:00, and offers were due by 23 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. Its estimated value is £48,000 excluding VAT, or £57,600 including VAT. Electronic submission is allowed. The opportunity is a single lot. Offers will be evaluated on quality and price, with quality weighted at 60% and price at 40%. The published requirement identifies the procurement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized environmental, flood-risk, marine and natural-resource consultancies with the capability to produce a formal flood defence strategy. Relevant suppliers are likely to have experience in marine conservation strategy planning, natural-resource management or conservation strategy development, and in turning technical environmental evidence into practical strategic advice for a public authority. The work calls for specialist professional services rather than physical construction, equipment supply or routine maintenance. Firms with multidisciplinary teams spanning flood defence, environmental planning, marine issues and resource conservation may be well placed to address the requirement. The stated quality weighting makes the strength and credibility of the proposed approach particularly important.
