Signed August-September period follows the July estimate

NOC's UK7 records Seawork, GBP 88,800 including VAT, the May signature and August-September period. The earlier UK5 describes the quayside wall and pontoon scope, tenancy and nominated-supplier rationale. Completed repairs, handback, acceptance and final payment remain unconfirmed.

Quayside access and pontoon serviceability

The stated wall-and-pontoon scope affects waterfront access and pontoon serviceability within an operating port estate. Dimensions, methods, temporary works and repair quantities determine the practical work package; surveys, defects close-out and owner handback describe its completed condition.

Evidence conclusion

Signed repair scope and outstanding handback

NOC signed Seawork Marine Services on 8 May 2025 for GBP 88,800 including VAT, with a 13 August to 12 September period. The direct-route explanation records NOC's ABP tenancy and nominated-supplier obligation. ABP supplies landlord and procurement context, while NOC remains the contracting authority. An excluding-VAT amount, dimensions, methods, assigned marine plant, lower tiers, completed quantities, acceptance and final account remain undisclosed.
