Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The City of Sunderland has issued a tender for the "Sunderland Riverside Enabling Works" project, focusing on preparing a site for construction. This entails demolishing existing infrastructure, backfilling with crushed aggregates for natural drainage and levelling, and constructing minor structures such as bulk earthworks, contiguous piled walls, and gabion basket walls. The open procurement process, which supersedes the earlier "Crown Works Studio Enabling Works" title, is active and classified under CPV code 45111000 (demolition, site preparation, and clearance work). Located in the North East UK, the tendering process concludes on 20 September 2024, with work starting on 4 November 2024 and finishing on 22 August 2025. The project is expected to cost £15,000,000, and the open procedure ensures that the opportunity is above threshold and publicly advertised.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs in the construction and site preparation sectors. Businesses specialising in demolition, earthworks, and minor structural works will find this an attractive bid due to the prepared site requirement. The open procedure increases the chances for smaller enterprises to compete effectively, making it pertinent for companies looking to expand their portfolio in public infrastructure projects. Those equipped to meet the technical and logistical demands of large-scale site preparation will be well-suited to compete, ensuring robust involvement from diverse market participants. Sunderland City Council, the contracting authority, encourages SMEs but does not specify suitability for various community and social enterprises (VCSEs), streamlining focus for relevant businesses.
