## Summary

The Environment Agency has completed the awarding stage for the "Bridgwater Tidal Barrier - Construction Continuation Contract". This contract, with a title under the industry category of "Works for complete or part construction and civil engineering work" (CPV code: 45200000), was part of a selective procurement process through a call-off from a framework agreement. The project is located in the South West of the United Kingdom, specifically in the postal code area TA6 4RR. The contract commenced on 1st May 2026 and is expected to conclude by 8th January 2029. The tender was published with a value of £125,000,000, and the tender period ended on 17th December 2025.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for companies in the civil engineering and construction sectors, particularly those capable of handling large-scale infrastructure projects. While the awarded contract was directed towards Kier Construction Limited, other businesses engaged in subcontracting and specialising in various facets of construction work might find secondary opportunities. The project offers immense potential for business growth through engagement in a high-profile government infrastructure initiative, especially for firms with expertise in tidal barrier construction and related civil engineering works. However, it is noted that the suitability criteria are not biased in favour of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs).
