## Summary

Defra procured flood-defence maintenance works for Tilbury Docks, under the project title “Tilbury Docks Revetment Repairs”. The requirement covers detailed design for six phases of revetment repairs, followed by construction of phases 1 and 2. Phases 3 to 6 may be added as compensation events. This is a works contract involving civil engineering and coastal or dock infrastructure, rather than the supply of standalone goods or routine services. The stated classification is CPV 45246410, flood-defences maintenance works. The work is associated with Tilbury Dock, with the delivery location recorded in Peterborough and the East of England, United Kingdom.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Defra used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 19 August 2026 at 5pm, and the award was made on 20 August 2026. BAM Nuttall Ltd was awarded the contract for £811,366.96 including the stated currency of GBP. The procurement’s estimated minimum value was £811,366.96 and its estimated maximum value was £2,000,000. The awarded contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 9 June 2027. The opportunity was evaluated through the framework call-off process, with the procurement marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible competitors would need capability in marine civil engineering, flood-defence maintenance and revetment repair. The work calls for design expertise covering multiple repair phases, alongside the practical capacity to construct early phases and manage later additions through compensation events. Relevant suppliers would need to coordinate design and construction, work safely around dock infrastructure and water-side environments, and manage technically linked activities across a substantial civil engineering package. The award also shows that Defra uses framework call-offs for this type of work, so businesses would need an appropriate framework position or a route to participate through a framework supplier. The buyer’s assessment indicates that larger, established contractors are better placed than SMEs or VCSEs.
