Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Devon County Council is initiating the "South West Exeter Infrastructure Development" project, which falls under the construction industry sector and is located in South West England. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a significant budget of £55.1 million allocated for infrastructure development over the next five years. A key milestone includes an engagement deadline set for 6th December 2019, aimed at gathering market insights on project packaging and procurement strategies to ensure robust supply chain engagement.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses focused on construction, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). With the project involving the development of approximately 2,500 new homes and extensive infrastructure works such as new junctions and highways, companies with expertise in civil engineering, project management, and sustainable construction practices would be well-positioned to compete. Engagement in the upcoming phases may also reveal further opportunities for sub-contracting and collaboration in meeting environmental and safety requirements.

Notice Information

Notice Title

South West Exeter Infrastructure Development

Notice Description

Introduction Devon County Council (DCC) plans to deliver PS55.1m of infrastructure at South West Exeter over the next five years. DCC is therefore seeking the market's view on how this project is packaged and procured to ensure it is an attractive prospect for the supply chain. The following text introduces the project and provides details of a short questionnaire which we hope provides a suitable opportunity for you to express your preferred delivery strategy. Background South West Exeter is a development on the edge of Exeter, Devon. It will consist of circa 2,500 new homes, 21.5 hectares of new employment development and an all-through school for 1,400 students. The scale and location (steep topography and bisected by the A379) of this site requires a large amount of infrastructure to unlock the development and the necessary infrastructure to be delivered early. DCC submitted a bid for PS55.1million of funding from the Housing Infrastructure Fund (HIF). In February 2019, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government wrote to DCC confirming that the bid had been successful. Whilst the HIF process is a new funding mechanism DCC expect to formally enter into contract to receive money in winter 2019/20. The bid includes infrastructure such as new junctions (4 signalised, 1 roundabout), improvements to an existing roundabout, a new pedestrian/cycle bridge, two new highways and Sustainable Alternative Natural Greenspace (SANGS). For more information on the different infrastructure within the project, please see the attached "Main Overview Map". With regards to programme, the short-term priorities are the Eastern Junction and the Temporary School Access Junction, both of which are expected to start on site in early 2020. Due to the short timeframes involved, these two junctions have been excluded from options to package and procure the infrastructure, but you may see opportunities in relation to these works through other channels in the near future. The wider programme is that the funding will be spent by March 2024 and it is therefore our intention to deliver all of the infrastructure within the next five years. Questionnaire Having secured funding, Devon County Council is now considering how to package the infrastructure in a manner which balances the following priorities: * Delivering value * Minimising disruption to stakeholders * Ensuring Health and Safety of all stakeholders and users * Minimising environmental impacts * Meeting the needs of development To achieve these aims it will be vital that the various infrastructure packages are attractive, manageable and appealing to the supply chain. We have therefore prepared the following questionnaire to give you the opportunity to describe how you would like to see this infrastructure procured to balance the above priorities. https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=gzehjWjLP0S7S5l_d_1b-3CuD9EAxllKlw5-7jS-jcdUN0FSRFcyUTZJVzFOUVlKMEpXVk9LWEc0TS4u
