## Summary

The procurement process for the "Damboard Replacement Project - Re-design of Stop Log support structures" has been conducted by Hartlepool Borough Council, situated in Hartlepool, United Kingdom. The tender, now in the award stage, involves marine engineering consultancy services to redesign stop log support structures. The project is part of the engineering services category, located in the UKC11 region. The contract was awarded to BECKETT RANKINE LIMITED after a direct procurement method, which was below threshold without competition, given their prior involvement in the project's design and consultancy phases. Key dates include the contract signing on 12 February 2026, with the project period spanning from 1 March 2026 to 28 February 2027.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in engineering services, particularly those with expertise in marine engineering, to contribute to infrastructure enhancement projects. Though the contract has been awarded, businesses can gain insights into similar procurement processes and align their capabilities for future opportunities in public authority projects. BECKETT RANKINE LIMITED, an SME based in London, exemplifies the type of business well-suited to compete in tenders requiring specialised design amendments and rapid execution. Businesses with capacities for strategic consultancy in similar niche areas could position themselves favourably for related projects initiated by councils and governmental bodies.

## Notice

This contract serves as an exemption and is outside of normal HBC Contract Procedure Rules. The Damboard Replacement Project began in 2021 and original optioneering was carried out by Beckett Rankine. Beckett Rankine completed a detailed design in 2024 and it was recommended to carry out Ground Investigation work. This was delayed until 2025 as the estimate for the cost of the stoplogs was well in excess of the available budget and a decision by the board was needed to re-establish the project strategy. Following the completion of the ground investigation work it was proposed to appoint marine engineering consultants to advise on a pre-construction agreement process, but the projected costs combined with a reduction in the budget meant that the majority of the revised budget would be spent on fees. As it is now proposed to carry out soft market testing of the stoplog solution, it is necessary, in order to obtain accurate and reliable estimates from contractors, to have a detailed design that could be implemented as otherwise the estimates will be subject to too many caveats and assumptions to make them worthwhile. As Beckett Rankine have carried out all the marine engineering consultancy and design work on the project to date they are in a position to carry out the design amendment work most cost-effectively and rapidly.
