Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge City Council has initiated a tender process for the "Cycle Parking Improvements at Queen Anne Terrace Car Park" project in central Cambridge. This procurement, classified under "Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation" and "Construction work," aims to address the growing need for secure and accessible cycle parking due to the location's proximity to key facilities. The procurement method is an open procedure (below threshold), and the tender period ends on 11th April 2025. With an estimated contract period from 1st May 2025 to 1st August 2025, businesses have a limited window to submit their proposals for this significant urban enhancement initiative.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in construction, transport infrastructure, and urban development. Given the detailed requirements for security, accessibility improvements, and the removal and installation of cycle stands, it is particularly suited for businesses with experience in civil engineering and public infrastructure projects. Successful bidders will gain exposure and experience working with a prominent municipal body, aiding in business growth through high-visibility projects and potential future opportunities with local councils.

Notice Title

Cambridge City Council - Cycle Parking Improvements at Queen Anne Terrace Car Park

Notice Description

Cambridge City Council (CCC) is enhancing the public cycle parking at the Queen Anne Terrace (QAT) multi-story car park on Gonville Place in central Cambridge. The cycle parking at QAT addresses a strong local need due to its proximity to key facilities, including businesses, leisure and shopping areas, hospitality venues, green open spaces, and other amenities. Recreational and sports facilities are also available on site. The proposed improvements include additional cycle parking spaces and enhancements to safety, security, and accessibility. There are two cycle parking areas at QAT: one inside the car park building and the other outside, which is not covered. Both are at street level. There is a demand for safe, secure, and accessible short-term and long-term cycle parking. In the undercover cycle parking area, CCC plans to remove all existing cycle stands and ground anchors, adjust fence lines, and screed the floor before installing new cycle stands in a 'toast-rack' setup (consisting of two or more cycle stands securely attached to horizontal steel sections), cargo cycle parking bays with new ground anchors, and signage. An access-controlled area is also proposed, which will require a swing gate fitted with mag locks. For the external cycle parking area, CCC proposes to remove all existing vegetation, including a semi-mature tree, and all existing cycle stands and concrete hardstanding. The area will then be excavated to install an engineered tree pit with a hardstanding area above, and new root-fixed cycle stands (each stand leg embedded into a concrete foundation). New trees will be planted after the works are complete.
