## Summary

The Tyne and Wear Passenger Transport Executive, known as Nexus, has awarded a contract for dredging works at the North Shields Ferry Landing. This contract focuses on dredging activities to be conducted on one side of the ferry landing, facilitated by landside-based machinery, and includes the removal of any accumulated debris. The procurement falls under the utilities sector and is classified as ‘works’. The procurement method was direct, implemented below the threshold without competition, with the contract having been signed on 19th December 2025. The location of services is within the UKC region, particularly focusing on North Shields, and the contract work is scheduled to start on 5th January 2026, with completion expected by 30th August 2026, subject to favourable weather and tide conditions.

This tender offers significant opportunities for firms engaged in civil engineering, especially those specialised in dredging and pumping works. Southbay Civil Engineering Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in Gateshead, was selected as the supplier, highlighting that similar SMEs with expertise in specialised excavations and marine construction may find comparable contracts suitable to pursue in the future. The procurement process gives preference to SMEs, indicating the potential for smaller firms to successfully compete for utility projects, capitalise on niche expertise, and consequently expand their business footprint in the public sector contracting landscape.
