## Summary

The procurement process for "Eling Tide Mill Urgent Works September 2025" was conducted by New Forest District Council, a public authority within sub-central government, based in Lyndhurst, United Kingdom. This contract pertained to the specialised repair of a Grade 2* listed building, focusing on engineering and construction works, such as sluice gate repairs and propping bulky wheel mechanisms, at a riverbed site. The procurement was executed using a direct method below threshold, without competition, and has been completed. Owlsworth IJP Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise located in Reading, was awarded the contract. The award was made active on 17th October 2025, with the contract period extending until 14th November 2025 and a gross value of £65,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses adept in specialised engineering and construction, particularly those with expertise in heritage site works or operations in challenging environments, such as riverbeds. Given the direct procurement approach, companies akin to Owlsworth IJP Ltd, with capabilities in handling complex and precision-based projects, are well-suited to pursue similar contracts. Small to medium enterprises that can offer unique technical skills and adaptability in heritage conservation projects may find themselves in advantageous positions for future opportunities with organisations such as the New Forest District Council.

## Notice

The works required at Eling Tide Mill are extremely specialist, due the building being a Grade 2* listed asset. They include repair works to a sluice gate, the propping of a significantly heavy and bulky wheel mechanism, and the repair of a wall and ground beams that are located beneath ground level, in a confined space. Much of the work can only be carried out at low tide, as the work site is effectively on the riverbed.
