Portsmouth City Council, 'the council', is inviting applications from suitably qualified applicants & contractors for the construction and delivery of a continuing major programme of coastal defence construction to deliver a flood and coastal erosion risk management (FCERM) scheme at Ports Creek, Portsmouth, UK; located to the north of Portsea Island (AKA 'Ports Creek').

Ports Creek is phase 5 of the North Portsea Coastal Scheme FCERM scheme which provides a 1 in 500-year standard of protection with a design life of100 years. See website for more details: https://coastalpartners.org.uk/project/north-portsea-island-phase-5-ports-creek

The design consists of an earth bund with a rock armour toe. As this phase will be carried out in an area known for its green, open spaces, the secondary focus of this scheme will be enhancing the natural feel of the area by planting more trees and improving access along the frontage.
