Pontoon contract evidence

Swansea revises its pontoon contract start to 5 August

Published 8 August 2026 Updated 14 October 2026 Publisher IMWO Region Europe Confidence Confirmed
Completed River Tawe floating pontoon and gangway from Inland and Coastal Marina Systems' separate 2023 Swansea installation

Inland and Coastal Marina Systems; exact 2023 River Tawe predecessor installation, not the 2026 Morfa Quay and New Cut Road works or current progress

The 4 August contract amendment revised Swansea's two-pontoon start to 5 August. The compiled record retains the 2 October end, 15 July signature and GBP 411,775.70 excluding-VAT value. Fabrication, installation, commissioning and owner acceptance remain unconfirmed at Morfa Quay and New Cut Road.

The August amendment revised the contract start

Find a Tender records the supplier, signature and signed values, followed by the August start-date amendment. Swansea Council describes the two-pontoon programme. The image depicts Inland and Coastal's separate November 2023 River Tawe installation. Complete tender and signed-contract attachments have not been obtained.

Separate dates govern the two sites

Each pontoon has its own survey, shore connection, restraint or anchoring, tidal, navigation, access and commissioning interfaces. The recorded period describes the contract administration; site-specific fabrication, installation and accepted completion determine physical progress.

Evidence conclusion

Signed value, amended period and predecessor context

UK7 initially recorded a 20 July start; UK10 subsequently changed it to 5 August. The compiled history retains the 2 October end and the signed GBP 411,775.70 excluding-VAT and GBP 494,130.84 including-VAT values. The GBP 449,999 excluding-VAT tender estimate remains a separate baseline. The contractor's 2023 River Tawe installation supplies local precedent and the contextual photograph. Delivery at the two 2026 sites and their final acceptance remain unconfirmed.

Outstanding evidence

  • Site possession and accepted programme at both locations
  • Approved pontoon, gangway, restraint and shore-interface design
  • Fabrication release, transport and lifting or launching method
  • Morfa Quay and New Cut Road installation evidence
  • Named lower tiers and package values
  • Commissioning, owner acceptance, variations and final value
