## Summary

Durham County Council has awarded a contract for the Beach Care Officer role, focusing on environmental services in the United Kingdom, specifically in the heritage coast area of Durham. This public procurement process, classified under sub-central government authority, falls within the services category and reflects the council's commitment to improving water environments and community engagement through beach clean-ups. The procurement method was direct and below threshold without competition, indicating a streamlined process. The contract, valued at £74,855 GBP, was signed on 1 April 2025 and will run until 31 March 2028.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses within the environmental services sector, particularly those specialising in community engagement and coastal restoration activities. Durham Wildlife Trust, recognised as an SME and VCSE, won the contract, opening avenues for similar organisations to explore collaborations or initiatives that align with the council's beach care and water improvement goals. Firms capable of engaging community and corporate volunteers, and showcasing heritage coast work, are likely to find success in such projects, contributing to long-term community and environmental benefits.

## Notice

Beach care is part of Durham county council's and the heritage coast partnership's commitment to improving the water environment on the coast and engaging with community and corporate volunteers on beach cleans and communities on outreach. The majority of beach cleans will be in the heritage coast area. Occasionally, beach care is delivered outside of the heritage coast area, engaging with partners' activities and events, and showcasing the work of the heritage coast. In addition, engagement delivery will also look at 'source to sea' opportunities, working in land to improve outcomes on the coast.
