## Summary

Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole Council has completed the award stage of a coastal defence works procurement titled "Avon Beach to Highcliffe Beach Management Works." The procurement aims to enhance existing groynes, strengthening sea defence structures along the South West coast of the United Kingdom. The restricted procedure method was employed, indicating a selective approach. The contracted period runs from 4th May to 31st July 2026, with Earlcoate Construction recognised as the awarded supplier. Notably, the contract value is £336,725.1, contributing to a total tender value of £488,309. The works focus primarily on beach-consolidation and sea defence construction, classified under CPV codes 45243000, 45243500, and 45243400.

This contract presents substantial growth opportunities for SMEs specialising in coastal defence and construction, as the buyer actively encourages SME participation. Businesses skilled in sea defence and beach consolidation, particularly those with experience handling displaced rock armour and beach recycling, will find this tender highly suitable. Furthermore, firms within the South West region can leverage geographic proximity for logistical advantages. The selective procurement approach suggests involvement through established frameworks, offering businesses ongoing opportunities beyond isolated tenders. This dynamic environment can foster long-term partnerships with regional councils, enhancing visibility and business expansion within public procurement markets.
