## Summary

Vivid Housing Limited has completed the procurement process to award a significant contract for the construction of a 500m sea wall and associated infrastructure at the Tipner East site, Portsmouth. This award, governed by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and under a JCT 2016 D&B Contract, has been given to PMC Construction and Development Services Ltd due to their unique technical expertise and pre-construction involvement. The project is part of the broader Tipner East regeneration scheme, which includes a mixed-tenure housing development. The contract, valued at £4,653,536, was signed on 16 May 2024, following a procurement stage that was executed through a limited method without prior publication of a call for competition due to technical reasons and the absence of viable alternatives.

This tender presents notable opportunities for businesses involved in large-scale construction and infrastructure projects, particularly those specialising in coastal and flood defence works. Companies with capabilities in complex site setups, ecological monitoring, and engagement with regulatory agencies such as Natural England and the Environment Agency could find similar future projects highly beneficial. The contract's requirements for extensive site knowledge and the handling of technical constraints underscore the need for adept project management and specialised skills, making it an ideal opportunity for entities experienced in high-stakes construction environments looking to expand their portfolio in the UK regional construction market.
