Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency commissioned repairs to an embankment forming part of the Green Wall at Lydd Ranges. The work concerned a section of the wall approximately 700 metres east of Galloways car park on Denge Marsh, in Kent. It falls within coastal and sea-defence construction work and was procured as one lot. The requirement was described as incident response repair work, with the purpose of repairing the damaged embankment section. The Environment Agency is the buyer; Van Oord UK Ltd was selected to carry out the works. This is a site-specific civil engineering requirement rather than a general maintenance or supply contract, and its relevance is strongest for contractors with experience in embankment repair and coastal defence construction.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It used a selective, competitive award under a framework agreement and was below the applicable procurement threshold. Van Oord UK Ltd was awarded the single lot. The contract was signed on 17 July 2026, with a stated period from 17 July to 13 September 2026 and a maximum extent to 25 September 2026. The contract value is £248,382.53 including VAT. An extension is allowed if needed to complete the work. The published procurement data does not state a separate evaluation formula or detailed award criteria, so the basis for comparing tenders cannot be summarised beyond the competitive framework route.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible competitors are likely to need the practical capability to repair embankments and construct or restore sea defences in a coastal setting. The awarded supplier, Van Oord UK Ltd, is a large contractor, indicating that the buyer selected a supplier able to deliver a defined civil engineering works package at this scale. Experience managing site works on marsh or coastal terrain, coordinating incident-response repairs and completing embankment construction safely would be relevant to demonstrating delivery capability. Suppliers should also be able to compete through an applicable framework route, since this work was awarded competitively under a framework. This is a focused coastal-defence requirement for the Environment Agency, so evidence should relate directly to similar embankment and sea-defence works rather than broader construction experience alone.
