Decision details

A report was presented to Cabinet proposing the tendering of a 3 year (with 2 year extension option) term maintenance contract for coastal zone maintenance. This will replace an existing contract which naturally expires in January 2024. Coastal zone maintenance is revenue funded and the contract will have a value of up to £1.5m over the full 5 year maximum term.

To incur expenditure via a coastal zone maintenance term contract of approximately £1.5m over a 5 year period starting early in 2024. All expenditure being in accordance with allocated revenue budgets.

To ensure the maintenance of coastal assets is undertaken.

Not entering into a new contract for coastal zone maintenance would lead to a steady decline in the condition of coastal assets and increased insurance liability.
