Tender description
The Environment Agency's Beach Management Framework will be used 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 are requirements 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 are requirements 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. ## Contract award Title: Beach Management Framework

Contracts are advertised on Contracts Finder and Find a Tender, with major purchases run through Atamis, the Defra group's shared eCommercial portal. Flood and coastal risk schemes are delivered mainly through the Collaborative Delivery Framework, alongside frameworks for mapping, modelling and property flood resilience. These frameworks run through a central contract management system. Commercial oversight sits with Defra Group Commercial, alongside the Environment Agency's own project teams.
Procurement spend from central entities makes up 66% of overall UK public spend.
Over the past 5 years, most of the Environment Agency's contract awards have been in construction work, architectural and engineering services and research and development.
