Description

Chichester District Council is a Coast Protection Authority and manages numerous assets associated with managing flood and erosion risk. To manage the risk to navigation there is a need to mark the seaward end of some of these assets. This has been done with 37 fixed marker beacons, constructed using bullhead rail and attached (bolted) to timber groynes. 

A number of these marker beacons have or are reaching the end of their serviceable life with either the rail or timber no longer suitable for re-fixing. Some of these are also no longer accessible from the land even during low spring tide (tidal information is included in section 4.5) due to lowering of the lower foreshore, rendering pre-existing approaches to re-erecting them from the beach unsuitable.  

The Council is seeking to appoint a contractor to design and build at least five (but up to 9) new marker beacons to manage the risk to navigation. It is expected that over the coming years the majority of the beacons will need to be replaced and so we are seeking a design / approach that is easily repeatable.

Beach Management Framework

The Environment Agency requires a Framework to deliver its routine and ad-hoc beach maintenance works across all coastal frontages in England that it is responsible for. This maintenance typically consists of moving/transporting large volumes of shingle from areas of accretion to areas of erosion and evenly re-distributing shingle along the sea to restore/maintain the required standard of protection. There is a requirement to import marine dredged or land-based shingle onto coastal frontages to replenish lost material and to conduct maintenance/repairs to coastal defences and structures. There is a requirement to import and place rock on coastal frontages, as well as to provide coastal incident response, recovery and readiness support in the event of extreme weather events. This maintenance is essential to minimise the risk of coastal flooding to residential properties and commercial businesses. Market Engagement was undertaken using PIN notices via the PCR 15 regulations in May and December 2024. The Framework will operate as a single National Lot with a maximum of two Delivery Partners being appointed onto the Framework. The Framework duration will be a six-year (72 month) initial period with a 2-year (24 month) extension option (total eight years). The total estimated value of the Framework will be between £469,000,000 to £1,227,166,000 (exclusive of VAT). The procurement documents are available for unrestricted and full direct access, free of charge, at https://defra-family.force.com/s/Welcome Any questions, requests to participate, or tender submissions must be submitted electronically via this portal.
