Thanet District Council wishes to select and appoint a suitable supplier for the provision of civil engineering construction works at Walpole Bay in the Thanet District, including the replacement of a section of sea wall, coping stabilisation, and concrete sea wall repairs, and invites prospective bidders to submit a Tender to meet the Employer’s requirements. In order to maintain the level of coastal protection to the coastline between Newgate and Walpole Bay, a section of sea wall requires replacement. This includes replacement (including the design and manufacture) of precast sea wall coping blocks, replacement or realignment of the upper course of seawall blocks, replacement of the promenade slab, and in-situ concrete repairs. Please note that a previous Walpole Bay Coast Protection Scheme was advertised by UK4: Tender Notice with Notice identifier: 2025/S 000-082414 published on 12 December 2025. This procurement process was terminated under UK12: Procurement termination notice with Notice identifier: 2026/S 000-026997 published on 24 March 2026. The Council has considered the matters from the previous Tender, which resulted in the need to abandon this procurement and believes it has addressed these matters by removing some of the Conditions of Participation and reducing the scope of the works, which the Council now believes is more aligned to the project budget. Note the contract period has also been reduced from 22 weeks to 20 weeks to reflect the reduction in the scope of works under the new procurement referenced within this Notice. The Contract is anticipated to commence in June 2026 (date to be agreed upon completion of legal agreement) for a duration of 20 weeks. Important Information: All procurement documents are attached to this notice and available for suppliers to download and complete according to instructions contained. The procurement process will be undertaken on the basis of formal Tenders. 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 01/05/2026. Completed tender documents must be submitted electronically via the Kent Business Portal by no later than 14.00hrs on 15/05/2026.

Award criteria
Criterion 1 - Quality (50%)
Criterion 2 - Price (50%)
| Item | Category | Quantity |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Construction work, Works for complete or part construction and civil engineering work, Coastal-defence works, Sea wall construction work, Marine construction works | Not published |
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 set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 45 | 8,214 | 4 median · 23.5 average (1,644 of 8,214 with a bid count) | 3.6 average (1,810 of 8,214 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 16 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UKJ44 | 20 | 9 median · 14 average (3 of 20 with a bid count) | 1.7 average (3 of 20 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 631 | 5 median · 6.3 average (3 of 631 with a bid count) | 1.3 average (3 of 631 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.
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.
No planning milestones published.
No linked framework, prior procurement or reprocurement published.
Diagnostic view. “Not published” means this current release does not provide a value.
