## Summary

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs bought shingle recycling works to remove excess shingle from Hastings and maintain the designed beach profiles and a 1-in-400 standard of protection at Pevensey Bay. The requirement covered approximately 7,000 cubic metres of shingle, moved from Hastings to support coastal flood protection at Pevensey Bay. The work is classified as aggregates and is relevant to contractors able to handle and recycle beach shingle and carry out coastal profile management. Delivery is associated with Hastings and Pevensey Bay in East Sussex; the procurement data also gives a delivery postcode in Worthing, West Sussex.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Canterbury City Council. The award date was 21 September 2026, and the contract runs from 21 September to 26 October 2026. The awarded value is £270,000, against an estimated range of £270,000 to £300,000. The tender deadline was 10 August 2026 at 12:00. The procurement method is recorded as “Other”; no further procedure detail is provided. The requirement was treated as works, with an estimated contract period matching the awarded period. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to compete. No lots are recorded, and no evaluation criteria are set out in the procurement data.

For suppliers outside this award, the contract demonstrates a defined coastal-management requirement for the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs: moving and recycling substantial quantities of beach shingle to restore a designed beach profile and support a stated flood-protection standard. Credible competitors would need to show they can manage shingle recycling and transfer between coastal locations, coordinate delivery against beach-profile requirements, and work effectively on coastal flood-risk infrastructure. The buyer considered the work suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, indicating that this requirement was not reserved to large contractors. Canterbury City Council was selected, so local-authority delivery capability is one proven route, though the procurement does not establish that this is the only suitable supplier type. The award provides evidence of demand for practical shingle-recycling and beach-management expertise, rather than general aggregates supply alone.
