| Period rationale: | Justification for having a 4+ Framework duration: •Specialist marine vessels are in high demand globally, leading to prolonged mobilisation timeframes, this may impact the EA’s ability to deliver their programme of beach nourishment work to meet their obligations under Shoreline Management Plans. • Supports key Construction Playbook policies of Portfolio & Longer-Term Contracting, Commercial Pipelines and Risk Allocation. • The EA requires an 8-year duration to facilitate the delivery of its longer term 8-year pipeline. • The majority of respondents to our second PIN agreed that an 8-year Framework is attractive to the market and encourages greater commitment from the market to invest in specialist vessels, equipment and staff. • A longer duration enables relationships to be built with long-term collaborative Delivery Partners, supporting efficient delivery through programme level optimisation and packaging of work. |
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).
