## Summary

Hart District Council is overseeing the procurement process for the repair of the existing bank of Sandy Lane Ditch and the adjacent footpath in Fleet, Hampshire. The contracting process is currently in the award stage, with The Rothen Group having been selected as the supplier on 21 November 2025. This construction and repair project falls under the works category with key activities involving river-wall construction and riverbank protection works. The contract is scheduled to start on 8 December 2025 and conclude on 17 February 2026, with an option for a three-month extension if mutually agreed. Located in the southern UK, this project employed an open procurement method, which is often used for below-threshold projects to encourage competitive bidding. The procurement process initially attracted five bids, three of which were finalised by SMEs, indicating a healthy level of interest among small to medium enterprises.

This tender offers a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in construction, civil engineering, and environmental restoration. The focus on riverbank and footpath repairs provides an avenue for companies with expertise in river-wall construction and boardwalk installation to showcase their capabilities. The open procurement method and successful involvement of SMEs demonstrate an inclusive approach that welcomes diverse suppliers; hence, businesses with a background in public infrastructure projects would be well-suited to participate in similar future tenders. Contracts like this not only benefit suppliers by providing job opportunities but also contribute to local community improvements, fostering long-term business growth.
