## Summary

Tunbridge Wells Borough Council has completed the procurement process for the design and repair of the Sherwood Lake dam bank. Located in Royal Tunbridge Wells, United Kingdom, this project falls within the industry category of river regulation and flood control works. The procurement method used was open competition, below the threshold, allowing for a broader range of participants. The tender process has progressed from an active tender stage starting on 28th October 2025, with a deadline for submissions by 14th November 2025, through to the award and contract stages, with completion scheduled for 6th March 2026. Key dates include the signing of the contract on 7th January 2026, and the project period spanning from December 2025 to early March 2026.

This opportunity offered significant potential for business growth, particularly for businesses within the marine contracting and civil engineering sectors capable of handling tasks related to flood prevention and regulation works. The project required expertise in quality design and cost-effective solutions, opening doors for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) like Restek UK Ltd, the awarded supplier and principal contractor for the project. Businesses specialising in flood-defence maintenance and possessing the capability for works within the stipulated geographic and regulatory confines would have found this tender suited for their expansion and provided an avenue for demonstrating technical competencies in public authority contracts.
