This contract, valued at £135,000, is set to commence on 1st May 2021, lasting for three years until 30th April 2024, with a potential one-year extension. The tender period concludes on 1st February 2021. This procurement is classified under goods, specifically focusing on aggregates, and is being undertaken via an open procedure. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those involved in the supply of gravel, sand, and other aggregates compatible with Kentish Ragstone. Companies capable of delivering between 1,000 to 2,000 tonnes of aggregate annually to specified sites within East Sussex would be well-suited to compete, especially those with experience in environmental compliance and transport logistics for construction materials. The focus on sustainability and compatibility with existing natural aggregates also encourages small and medium-sized enterprises to participate. ## Notice 1.1 The Environment Agency is looking for suppliers for the Supply and Delivery of Raw Aggregate materials as defined within the specification of requirements for embankment repairs to the tidal River Ouse embankments in East Sussex between Newhaven and the A27 (near Lewes) the work is necessary to enable the Environment Agency to comply with its legal obligations under the Newhaven Navigation Act 1847. This is a must have contract to ensure that the Environment Agency (EA) abides by relevant legislation. 1.2 The contract will commence on the 1st May 2021 and will be for a three year fixed term until the 30th April 2024, with options (at the Agency's sole discretion) to extend for a further 12 months period, until 30th April 2025. 1.3 This future provision requires the supply and delivery to site of between 1,000 to 2,000 tonnes of aggregate annually however this figure could vary from year to year as the work is dependent on the condition of the embankments, suitable ground conditions and financial budget. The geographical coverage of the aggregate is to be supplied and delivered to any of four sites covering the geographical area between Lewes and Newhaven in East Sussex. The delivery sites require haulage Lorries to travel on compacted aggregate/earth tracks. The appointed supplier will be responsible for ensuring that delivery vehicles are suitable for the specified delivery locations. An Environment Agency banksman will supervise delivery (managing safe entrance and exit from the construction site). 1.4 The aggregate supplied for the Contract will need to match with the existing natural stone aggregate already in place along the tidal River Ouse embankments which is Kentish Ragstone, a sandy limestone aggregate. All material supplied under the Contract must be suitable for the intended purpose (as a tidal riverbank revetment or gabion stone). Tenderers will be asked to provide a sample of the raw aggregate for suitability assessment by the EA Field Operations team. 1.5 The Contractor will ensure that the quarry from which the material is sourced has the appropriate planning permission (issued by the relevant Minerals Planning Authority), with appropriate Environmental Statement/Environmental Impact Assessment in place. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ef9ce338-7d22-4949-9113-78a61f6812ef | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Dec 2020 | | Submission deadline | 1 Feb 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Apr 2021 - 30 Apr 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £135,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEFRA NETWORK ETENDERING PORTAL | | Locality | READING | | Post town | Reading | | Postcode | RG1 8DQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ16 Berkshire West | | Local authority | Reading | | Electoral ward | Thames | | Westminster constituency | Reading Central | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 14 - Mining, basic metals and related products ### Codes - 14210000 - Gravel, sand, crushed stone and aggregates - 14212000 - Granules, chippings, stone powder, pebbles, gravel, broken and crushed stone, stone mixtures, sand-gravel mixtures and other aggregates - 14212200 - Aggregates ## Release History - 23 Dec 2020 at 14:36 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ef9ce338-7d22-4949-9113-78a61f6812ef ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ef9ce338-7d22-4949-9113-78a61f6812ef 23rd December 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
