## Summary

The procurement process titled "Tall Ships 2018 Capital Dredge" is conducted by Sunderland City Council, requiring dredging works to facilitate the berthing of ships for an event in the City in 2018. The main procurement category is classified under "Dredging and pumping works," with an estimated contract value of £1,000,000. The tender was published on 20th October 2017, and the tender period concluded on 17th November 2017. The contract duration spans from 1st February 2018 to 16th March 2018 and is being executed through an open procurement method.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in marine construction and dredging services, particularly those with experience in public works projects. Construction firms, especially larger contractors with the capacity to manage significant dredging operations, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Additionally, companies based in the North East of England are encouraged to engage, as proximity to the project site may provide logistical advantages.

## Notice

The Tall ships event is being held in the City in 2018 and this will require access to the proposed berthing sites for the ships via the river Wear and the enclosed Hudson/Hendon Docks. The river at these sites is not annually dredged under the maintenance dredging contract as it is not used by the Port for access and, as such, there could be significant dredging required to allow the appropriate depths for the ships attending the event. Some dredging is also required in the enclosed Hudson/Hendon Dock complex operated by the Port of Sunderland. There is, therefore a requirement for a capital dredge at these sites to allow access.
