## Summary

The Borough Council of King's Lynn and West Norfolk has initiated a tender for a Coastal Defence Window (core) sampling at Hunstanton, Norfolk, under the procurement title "Coastal Defence Window (core) sampling at Hunstanton, Norfolk." The process is currently active and aims to ensure structural integrity through geotechnical investigations along the promenade deck at Hunstanton. The procurement falls under the "works" category, with a particular focus on coastal defence and site-investigation services. Situated in the UKH16 region of the United Kingdom, the submission deadline for this open competition is set for 23rd January 2026. The main procurement method is an open, below-threshold competition, offering opportunities for timely and efficient project execution.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in geotechnical and structural engineering consultancy, coastal defence works, and technical inspection and testing services. Particularly well-suited for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), the tender values are £85,000 net amount with a gross amount of £102,000. With quality criteria heavily weighted towards methodology, environmental risk assessment, and experience, businesses with a strong track record in these areas will be competitive. The anticipated commencement of the works in February 2026 suggests readiness to engage swiftly and deliver innovative solutions as part of this strategic infrastructure project. The project also promises longer-term engagement with additional opportunities for those contributing to detailed structural design commencing in April 2026.

## Notice

The Council has a requirement for a specialist contractor to undertake window (core) sampling through the Hunstanton Coastal Defence promenade deck, as per recommendations of geotechnical investigations. Window samples are required every 25m along the 1.5km of the promenade to confirm the presence of voids and their extent. This will inform the amount of void infilling which is required as part of the capital works project. Some concrete window samples will also be sent for lab testing to confirm the concrete strength which will feed into the design for promenade works. Pencil cores will also be taken at 2-3 locations along the wave-return wall (Sections E, C and B) to confirm the strength of the concrete which is the same age as the promenade deck. Anticipated commencement date for works is February 2026. Outcomes from these window (core) samples will then be used for the detailed structural engineering design which is due to commence April 2026.
