## Summary

The Hunstanton Coastal Defence Emergency Works contract, commissioned by King's Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council, focuses on repairing Sections E and F of the promenade in Hunstanton. This project falls under the Coastal-defence works category, situated in the UKH16 region, United Kingdom. The procurement process reached the award stage, with a legal basis adhering to UKPGA 2023/54, and concluded with a direct procurement method, characterised as below threshold - without competition. The award to Southbay Civil Engineering Ltd was finalised on 24th February 2026, and the active contract spans from 2nd March 2026 to 1st May 2026, with a potential extension permissible up to 1st June 2026. The gross contract value stands at £300,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in coastal-defence works, particularly those adept in handling emergency repair projects. Companies similar to Southbay Civil Engineering Ltd, which focuses on civil engineering and is categorised as an SME, are well-positioned to compete for such contracts. With the government showing a preference for direct procurement methods in emergency scenarios, businesses that can rapidly mobilise resources and provide competitive bids without formal competition are especially advantaged. This creates a conducive environment for firms in the civil engineering domain to expand their portfolios by targeting public authority contracts, particularly those initiated by sub-central government bodies like the King's Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council.
