Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge City Council is seeking a contractor to design and carry out repairs to the riverside wall at Jesus Green in Cambridge. The works include stabilising and repairing the existing wall, building a new sheet-pile wall with infill and capping, and connecting it to the existing wall and footpath. The scope also covers modifying outfalls, pump-out and drainage systems; replacing the foul-water drainage serving Jesus Green Lido; and protecting existing utilities. Contractors must also manage temporary footpath diversions and public access, arrange river-based access and material storage, and reinstate affected paths, paving, grass and riverbank surfaces after construction. This is civil engineering and construction work (CPV 45000000), delivered at Jesus Green, Cambridge.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition, and the process reached the tender stage. Questions were due by 23 October 2026 at 18:00; bids were due by 6 November 2026 at 16:00. The contract period was set to run from 4 December 2026 to 30 November 2027, with provision for continuation of the works to 31 March 2028. The estimated value is £1.2 million excluding VAT (£1.44 million including VAT). The procurement is a single lot. The award is weighted 60% on quality and 40% on price. Electronic submission is permitted.

This opportunity is suited to civil engineering and construction contractors with the design capability and practical experience to stabilise and repair riverside structures and construct sheet-pile walls. Delivery calls for coordinated work across wall construction, drainage—including foul-water systems—and existing utilities, as well as the ability to manage temporary works and construction access. Suppliers should be able to plan and deliver work beside a river, including river-based access and materials handling, while maintaining safe public access through temporary diversions and site fencing. Experience reinstating footpaths, paving, grassed areas and riverbanks is relevant. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, making it potentially accessible to capable specialist firms as well as larger contractors. Quality carries greater evaluation weight than price.
