DP World; London Gateway operating-terminal context, not evidence of C2526 mobilisation

London Gateway's latest UK6 publishes the 18 December 2025 decision selecting Jan De Nul for C2526 at GBP 57 million excluding VAT, GBP 68.4 million including VAT. It estimates a 6 January 2026 to 30 December 2027 period. Both compiled awards retain pending status and scheduled signature milestones; an actual signed-contract object and C2526 mobilisation, plant and production records remain unconfirmed.

December award decision and revised estimated period

The official complete history fixes the 18 December decision and 19 December publication, Jan De Nul, values, pending award objects and estimated periods. DP World infrastructure information supplies operating-port context. Signed terms and C2526 execution remain outstanding.

One procurement with two award notices

The July tender's GBP 10 million excluding-VAT estimate and six-month programme changed substantially at selection. October and December notices name the same supplier and value under one OCID while publishing different estimated periods. The priced scope and work instructions are needed to compare those programmes and understand the final commercial boundary.

Evidence conclusion

Selected supplier and outstanding executed scope

The UK6 decision establishes supplier selection for the advertised competition. Contract 1 and Contract 2 remain within ocds-h6vhtk-056674; their shared GBP 57 million value is one procurement result. The reason for the numbering sequence, executed scope and physical start remain unconfirmed. C2526 requires its own quantities, depths, sediment route, licences and hydrography. The separate 2023-24 NewWaves contract's 1.5 million m3, -14.50 mCD target and disposal assumptions retain their historical scope.
