Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Somerset West and Taunton Council has initiated a tender process for the Taunton Cycle Improvements - New River Tone Bridge project. This construction work procurement is valued at £1,000,000 GBP and involves the development of a footpath and cycleway network in Taunton Town Centre. The tender period ends on 22nd December 2022, with the contract period scheduled from 22nd February 2023 to 31st March 2024. The Council plans to engage a 'preferred supplier' in a two-stage tender process, first for pre-construction scope and then for the main works contract.

This tender opportunity presents a chance for businesses in the construction industry, particularly those involved in structural products and active travel infrastructure, to participate in a significant regeneration project. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) would be particularly well-suited for this tender, considering the Council's emphasis on engaging with the preferred supplier for both pre-construction and main works phases. The location of the project in Taunton, England, provides a regional growth opportunity for local businesses looking to contribute to the enhancement of active travel infrastructure in the area.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Taunton Cycle Improvements - New River Tone Bridge

Notice Description

Somerset West and Taunton Council are investing PS66m in Taunton Town Centre regeneration schemes . A long-held ambition of the Council is to enable active travel improvements for Taunton Town Centre. In particular, the development of a comprehensive and integrated footpath and cycleway network with improved signage and cycle parking facilities. The proposals for the River Tone bridge consider a new footbridge crossing the River Tone located at the existing Morrison's Bandstand on the northern bank of the River Tone and adjoins the southern bank. The proposed scheme joins the National Cycle Network Route 3, adjacent to the northern bank of the River Tone to the existing footway adjacent to the southern bank. The Council is inviting Bids from Applicants in response to the published advertisement. The procedure will employ a 'Two-Stage' tender process, whereby a 'preferred supplier' will be shortlisted during this 'first stage' tender exercise. The preferred supplier will subsequently be formally engaged on the basis of a 'Pre-Construction Agreement' to deliver 'pre-construction scope'. The intention is then for the Council to engage with the preferred supplier to deliver the works on the basis of the 'main works' contract. This 'second stage' award of the main works contract is on the proviso of successful agreement of a contract sum/tendered offering to undertake the works.
