Balfour Southsea Coastal Tender

Location EastneyScope The council in collaboration with the Eastern Solent Coastal Partnership ESCP has plans for a coastal defence contractor to deliver new improved flood defences along 4.5km of seafront from Old Portsmouth to Eastney. The sea defences at Southsea are reaching the end of their lifespan and need renewing. Portsmouth City Councils plans aim to improve the seafront and stimulate regeneration as well as protect the community and its heritage. Contract value is estimated as being between 95m and 110m. The scheme divides Southsea frontage into six sections that will be built in phases. The aspiration is to start on site in March 2020 and complete the sixth and final phase in 2028.
