## Summary

The procurement process for the project titled "Provision of Consultancy Services (Leigh Port Regeneration)" was conducted by Southend-on-sea Borough Council. Classified under the engineering services category, this project is located in the East of England, United Kingdom. The award phase has been completed as of 8th September 2025, with the contract having commenced on 31st July 2025 and set to conclude on 31st December 2025. Using a selective procurement method via the ESPO Framework 664_21, the opportunity was intended for boosting the local cockling industry through improvements at the port, including a new quay wall and cooling system, with a total value of £153,284.13.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses operating in the engineering services sector, particularly those specialising in maritime infrastructure and environmental compliance. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) were especially encouraged to participate, given their suitability for this framework agreement. The regeneration of Leigh Port through these consultancy services could stimulate regional economic development, benefiting firms capable of delivering value engineering and sustainable design solutions. The project awarded to Mott MacDonald Limited highlights the demand for experienced companies that can contribute to such targeted local development initiatives.

## Notice

Provision of value engineering and principal designer duties with the aim of boosting the cockling industry and safeguarding the future of the port. Works will renovate the quay and improve access to the area. A new quay wall will offer safer access and egress to vessels and additional berthing space (the current quay wall has an irregular shaped berthing area). The current practice of cleaning cockles using water at high temperature and then flushing water back into the estuary (still at high temperature) is no longer acceptable. The proposed works will install a suitable cooling system to ensure that the cleaning process does not contravene rules or regulations. Dredging works to deepen the navigation channel would extend the cockle fishermen's working window, which would bring a commercial benefit to the local industry.
