## Summary

This public procurement process involves Blackpool Council as the contracting authority for the "Bispham To Cocker Square Coastal Protection Scheme." The awarded contract is part of a call-off from the SCAPE Civil Engineering Framework, covering England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The project is classified under the construction industry category and takes place in the North West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement stage recently concluded with the award announced on 7th April 2026, following the end of the tender period on 1st February 2026. The awarded contract commenced on 16th March 2026 and is set to conclude by 11th January 2030, with the total contract value amounting to £61,264,730.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for large businesses, especially those specialising in civil engineering and coastal protection works, as evidenced by the award to Balfour Beatty Civil Engineering (SW) Limited. Firms capable of undertaking extensive construction projects and equipped with the resources to contribute to infrastructural growth in the region would find this contract beneficial. The need to stabilise or reverse the beach lowering trend around Blackpool, alongside requisite repair works, opens up avenues for businesses experienced in shoreline and coastal defence solutions to engage and expand their business portfolio in a strategic manner.

## Notice

The works comprise a pre-construction contract for the Little Bispham to Bispham & Gynn Square to Cocker Square Coast Protection Scheme (sections B1.2 & B1.4 of the Blackpool coastal frontage, respectively). The project comprises a series of Rock Headlands, with associated cross over access ramps, that are designed to stabilise or reverse the long-term beach lowering trend at the toe of the existing defences. The works also include urgent repairs to the existing coastal defences (e.g. recasting/patch repairs to selected areas such as where there is exposed reinforcement or significant cracking). This will include recasting beach access steps where required for public safety and major improvements to the slipway at Little Bispham. The extent and details of the urgent revetment repairs, recasting access steps and slipway improvements will be developed and fully defined during the detailed design phase.
