What is being bought

Ramsgate Royal Harbour requires regular dredging to ensure the entrance and other areas of the marina remain open and clear for vessels to transit. Due to the nature of the sea bed in these areas mechanical dredging is required to remove the quantity of sand that builds up annually. The Contract is anticipated to commence upon late Summer 2026 (August/September 2026) and will continue for a period of 3 Years with two options to extend at 12 months each, unless terminated in accordance with the Conditions of the Contract. Important Information: All procurement documents are attached to the notice and available for suppliers to download and complete according to the instructions contained. The procurement process will be undertaken on the basis of a formal “open” Invitation To Tender (ITT) process. Evaluation will be on the basis of criteria and methodology as set out in the Invitation to Tender documents. Any clarifications or questions must be submitted via the Message area of the Kent Business Portal by no later than 14.00hrs on 29 May 2026. Completed Tender Response documents must be submitted electronically via the Kent Business Portal by no later than 14.00hrs on 12 June 2026.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 45. The category anchor is Construction work (45000000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 458,1084 median · 23.8 average (1,599 of 8,108 with a bid count)3.7 average (1,763 of 8,108 with named award suppliers)Not published

Similar published value (0.5×–2×)8237 median · 6.6 average (7 of 823 with a bid count)1.4 average (7 of 823 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
