This may or may not be a coastal scheme. - At least one (1) contract demonstrating significant construction works delivered within designated environmentally sensitive areas, including local, national and international designations (for example Special Area of Conservation [SAC], Special Protection Area [SPA], Ramsar Site, Conservation Areas), and where the Supplier can demonstrate that they complied with the environmental constraints for working within these sensitive areas. - At least one (1) example of delivering upstand reinforced concrete walls with a sheet pile toe, similar in size and scope to the council's requirement. - At least one (1) contract must evidence the Supplier taking a lead role in engagement with stakeholders directly impacted by the works. - At least one (1) contract delivered using the NEC3 or NEC4 Engineering Construction Contract, Option C. Suppliers that demonstrate this minimum experience within their case studies will achieve a pass, and will then have their contract examples evaluated for added value experience. The council's added value experience requirements are: - Demonstration of higher levels of minimum experience requirements. - Examples of experience delivering significant value add or innovation, that helped a project enhance the environment surrounding the construction project, which may include for, but not limited to, examples of carbon management and reduction, and ecological enhancements - Examples of working successfully within highly constrained tidal sites, similar to constraints of the council's scheme (i.e. narrow, linear site with limited access/ passing points) - Examples where the Supplier has successfully achieved either 'Excellent' in Considerate Constructors Scheme audits and/ or Awards within the construction industry (for example Flood and Coast Excellence Awards, Constructing Excellence Awards and British Construction Industry Awards etc.) that would be relevant to the delivery of this project.

Suppliers that achieve a pass will have their contract examples reviewed for added value experience. The added value experience requirements are provided within the procurement documents and are summarised below: - Demonstration of higher levels of minimum experience requirements. - Examples of experience delivering significant value add or innovation, that helped a project enhance the environment surrounding the construction project, which may include for, but not limited to, examples of carbon management and reduction, and ecological enhancements - Examples of working successfully within highly constrained tidal sites, similar to constraints of the council's scheme (i.e. narrow, linear site with limited access/ passing points) - Examples where the Supplier has successfully achieved either 'Excellent' in Considerate Constructors Scheme audits and/ or Awards within the construction industry (for example Flood and Coast Excellence Awards, Constructing Excellence Awards and British Construction Industry Awards etc.) that would be relevant to the delivery of this project. One (1) point will be awarded for each added value requirement demonstrated. The contract example must fully meet the requirements of the criteria to qualify for points for added value. No half points will be awarded for any criteria that is partially met. The maximum score available is 29. Suppliers will be ranked according to their total score. The council will select a minimum of three (3) and a maximum of five (5) suppliers to receive the invitation to tender.
