Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The North York Moors National Park Authority is currently undertaking a tender for the "Whitby to Staithes - Coastal Cycle Link" project, which aims to explore feasibility options and costings for establishing a safe cycling route between Staithes and Whitby along the North Yorkshire Coast. This initiative falls under the category of feasibility studies and is being conducted through an open procurement process. The tender is active with a submission deadline set for 20th July 2020, and the project is expected to commence on 3rd August 2020, with a contract duration extending until 26th February 2021. The value of the contract is estimated at £48,000, and the primary focus is on services in the Yorkshire and the Humber region.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in feasibility studies and advisory services, particularly those with expertise in cycling infrastructure, sustainable transport solutions, or community engagement in protected areas. Companies that can demonstrate experience in similar projects, an understanding of local sensitivities, and the capacity for collaborative work with community stakeholders could be particularly well-suited to participate in this tender. Engaging in this project could not only enhance your portfolio but also contribute to the development of valuable community assets along the scenic North Yorkshire Coast.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Whitby to Staithes - Coastal Cycle Link

Notice Description

The feasibility project will look at options and costings to create a safe cycle link connect the village of Staithes to the town of Whitby on the North Yorkshire Coast. The link will serve local people and communities as well as visitors to the coast. It also has the potential to fill a gap in the National Cycle Network route 1. There is an opportunity to link the two settlements and communities between through use of the disused railway line that once ran between them. For a large part of the route, the track bed is still in use as a walkway and aspirational outcome of the project is to bring the railway line and its associated infrastructure back into use as a cycleway. This includes exploring the potential to reopen two sections of railway tunnel to create a unique user experience. An initial structural report into the condition of the tunnels has been undertaken. In Staithes and between Sandsend and Whitby, the line has been largely lost and so a safe solution needs to be found to make the connections into the towns at either end of the railway section. It is expected that the southern link will connect to the existing Cinder Track which runs from Whitby to Scarborough taking into account local sensitivities. Consideration should be made to the unique setting in a protected landscape, the historical context of the area and engagement with the community will be essential to the success of this project. Most of the land in the proposed area between Staithes and Sandsend is owned by Mulgrave Estate who are partners in the project and very supportive of its aspirations. Other land ownership needs to be determined as part of the project. The nature of the project means that there is potential for considerable costs, both capital and revenue to implement and maintain any works in the future. It is essential that all options consider the long term maintenance liabilities so that they are identified and understood at the outset of the project.
