    Brief

    Associated British Ports (ABP), the UK's largest ports group operating 21 ports nationwide, is seeking a qualified Principal Contractor to deliver capital dredging services for channel deepening works at the Port of Southampton and Nab Deep Water Channel. The Port of Southampton is the UK's largest export port, handling container, automotive, cruise, and bulk cargo operations. The dredging works will involve: removal and disposal of material at sea, mitigation measures for potential marine unexploded ordnance (UXO), dredging adjacent to operational quay walls, and work in areas with buried pipelines. The successful contractor must demonstrate significant experience with large-scale dredging projects, possess appropriate specialist plant and equipment for complex operations, and plan works to minimize disruption to active port navigation and quayside operations. ABP has completed a two-stage negotiated procurement process under The Procurement Act 2023 and Procurement Regulations 2024 using the Competitive Flexible Procedure. The Procurement Specific Questionnaire was issued on 12 January 2026 and the Invitation to Tender (ITT) was released on 8 April 2026.
