## Summary

Westmorland and Furness Council procured coastal civil engineering works at South Walney in the North West. The requirement covers repositioning and reusing suitable defence stone, constructing 250 metres of improved erosion revetment, extending the existing stone revetment and providing a temporary site compound. The revetment is intended to protect against seawater overtopping events with a one-in-100-year return period. This is a construction works opportunity involving stone placement, coastal erosion protection, temporary works and associated site management. The relevant construction category is structures and materials for construction, including auxiliary construction products. It would suit contractors with practical experience of marine or coastal defence works, earthworks and heavy plant operations in exposed shoreline environments.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It was run as a call-off from a framework, with tenders due by 4 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC. Westmorland and Furness Council awarded the contract to Metcalfe Plant Hire Ltd on 27 April 2026. The awarded value is £479,143.91 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 August 2026. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier is responsible for the works described for South Walney, including the 250-metre revetment, stone reuse and extension of existing coastal protection. The procurement was categorised as works and the award is active.

This completed award provides a clear benchmark for contractors targeting comparable coastal protection work for Westmorland and Furness Council. A credible future competitor would need the capability to construct and extend stone revetments, reposition and reuse defence materials safely, and deliver protection against severe seawater overtopping. Relevant experience in coastal erosion resistance, shoreline or flood defence construction would be important, alongside access to suitable heavy plant, skilled site crews and reliable stone-handling capacity. The requirement also demonstrates that the council uses a framework call-off route for this type of work, so suppliers seeking similar opportunities would benefit from the relevant framework position and the ability to mobilise a temporary compound and manage short-duration construction works in an exposed coastal setting.
