## Summary

Portsmouth City Council has established a Coastal Engineering Minor Works Framework Agreement for the Southern Coastal Group and SCOPAC in southern England. The framework includes two lots: General Coastal Civil Engineering Works and Specialist Beach Management Works. The agreement is valued at approximately £6 million over four years, with potential to increase to £9 million. It offers opportunities for contractors in Hampshire, Dorset, West Sussex, and other counties in southern England. The procurement method is a Restricted Procedure with varied call-off mechanisms for contracting authorities.

This tender provides opportunities for contractors specialising in coastal engineering and beach management. Businesses able to provide comprehensive services such as drainage infrastructure, flood defences, and marine works are ideal candidates. The framework allows for direct award contracts and mini-competitions among primary and secondary tier contractors. Portsmouth City Council acts as the buyer, facilitating a transparent and structured procurement process for interested suppliers.

## Notice

Portsmouth City Council ('the council') on behalf of the Southern Coastal Group (SCG) and SCOPAC (the Regional Coastal Group for central southern England), established a multi-contractor Coastal Engineering Minor Works Framework Agreement. The framework commenced on 27th July 2022 and will run for a period of four years. The framework comprises of 2 lots. Lot 1 is concerned with the provision of General Coastal Civil Engineering Works and Lot 2 is concerned with the provision of Specialist Beach Management Works. Each framework lot is made up of 4 contractors. The framework will be available to all current and future SCG and SCOPAC members who are classified as Contacting Authorities. In addition, the framework will also be accessible to all contracting authorities situated within the counties of Hampshire, Dorset, West Sussex, East Sussex, Isle of Wight, Kent, Somerset and Wiltshire. The value of the framework across both lots is estimated to be in the region of PS6million over four years. Based upon previous demand information it is likely that 70% of the estimated value will be procured via Lot 1 and 30% via Lot 2, however this may change significantly year on year due to the dynamic nature of the coastal environment. This is based on the known requirements of SCG and SCOPAC members. In the event of further schemes or take up by other authorities across Southern England, the total value of the framework could increase to PS9million. The average value of works called off via the framework for both Lots by SCG and SCOPAC is likely to range from PS20k to PS150k. However, there is also likely to be commissions below PS20k and on occasion in excess of PS500k, although no upper or lower value constraints shall apply. The framework agreement has been let using the NEC4 Framework Agreement terms. Contracting authorities have a variety of call-off mechanisms and contracting options available for use which include for both mini-competition and direct award options. Call-off contracts may be let using either the NEC4 PSC or TSC in either the long or short form and with the choice of all options as proportionate and relevant to the services which are being commissioned. Low value, non-complex works may also be awarded via the standard purchase order terms of the particular contracting authority commissioning the works. The framework was established using the Restricted Procedure as set out within the Public Contracts Regulations (2015).
