## Summary

East Sussex County Council is buying a 24/7 emergency response service to clean up and dispose of coastal pollution. Incidents may involve oil, hazardous or noxious substances, debris and other contaminants. The framework serves the county council and participating district and borough councils: Eastbourne, Hastings, Lewes, Rother and Wealden. The work is delivered in East Sussex and covers environmental clean-up and pollution response services.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. East Sussex County Council made a direct award without competition to Ambipar Response Limited, which signed the contract on 9 September 2026. The contract runs from 9 September 2026 to 30 June 2027, with an option to extend for up to 12 months, subject to remaining framework value; the maximum period ends 30 June 2028. The contract value is £173,100 excluding VAT (£207,720 including VAT). It is a single-supplier framework with prices agreed in advance and no further competition when work is awarded. The direct award was made to the previously appointed contractor to maintain adequate cover while a longer-term arrangement is procured. The process had one lot.

For suppliers considering future coastal pollution response work for East Sussex County Council and its participating councils, this award indicates a requirement for dependable, round-the-clock emergency cover and the ability to mobilise for varied coastal contaminants. Credible providers would need to handle pollution incidents involving oil, hazardous or noxious substances, debris and other contaminants, and carry out both clean-up and disposal. The buyer used a single-supplier framework with prices agreed upfront, so a competitor would need to demonstrate a comprehensive response capability and confidence in delivering the full service across the participating council areas. The award went to the contractor already appointed, as an interim measure to maintain cover while a longer-term arrangement is procured.
