## Summary

The Isle of Wight Council has finalised a procurement process for the provision of beach and slipway cleaning services on the Isle of Wight under a one-year agreement. This public procurement, managed as a direct award under the threshold without competition, involves maintenance of 16 amenity beaches and 22 slipways to enhance safety and tourism. Following the Environmental Protection Act 1990, this aligns with statutory duties to ensure cleanliness and safety of coastal assets. The contract, valued at £120,000 gross, was signed on 1st March 2026, and spans from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027.

This contract presents opportunities for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in environmental maintenance and cleaning services, particularly those experienced with coastal areas. With the Isle of Wight's status as a popular tourist destination, businesses involved in enhancing recreational public access can benefit significantly by contributing to community safety and tourism appeal. Additionally, regional businesses with knowledge of the local geography would be well-positioned to offer competitive services for future re-tendering of this essential public service.

## Notice

The Authority requires the provision of Beach and Slipway Cleaning at locations on the Isle of Wight. This is a one year agreement to allow time to formally re-tender. This service will cover the 16 designated amenity beaches and 22 managed slipways, including those with permanent beach access steps. Under part IV of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, the Isle of Wight Council in its capacity as the Litter Authority has a statutory duty to ensure that all land in its direct control which is in the open air to which the public has clear access is kept free of litter and refuse, so far as practicable. This Duty includes Amenity Beaches. The Isle of Wight Council has legal duty of care as the owner/occupier to keep its recreational coastal assets (slipways and permanent beach access steps) as safe is reasonably practicable. The build-up of algae growth on these assets is a natural process which requires management. Proper maintenance supports safe public use for recreational marine and beach activities, enhances the Island's tourism offer, and contributes to the safety and enjoyment of residents and visitors alike. The the Authority requires a suitably qualified Supplier to enter into a Agreement for the provision of Beach and Slipway Cleansing Services on the Isle of Wight.
