Notice Information

Notice Title

CVLR City Centre First Contractor

Notice Description

Coventry City Council ("the Council") has been and will continue to develop the living and working environment within Coventry through a series of programmes that improve the transport infrastructure to attract inward investment and drive the transition from fossil fuel transport to sustainable transportation solutions. One key project in this drive for modal shift is the Coventry Very Light Rail (VLR) project. This project is to develop a VLR product that can be manufactured predominantly in the West Midlands that will drive modal shift within small to medium size urban environments, consistent with many cities within the UK where a standard tram system would not be economically feasible. This system will be a low capital cost for installation and will be environmentally clean at the point of use, which will have a positive impact on air quality, this modal shift is designed to reduce congestion, and as a result, open up the city for investment especially along the route. Please see - https://www.coventry.gov.uk/verylightrail for more background on the project. Following the procurement and delivery of Coventry Very Light Rail (CVLR) test tracks at locations in Whitley, Coventry (TP1) and Dudley (TP2); the Council is preparing to deliver the next project stage of delivering a City Centre First demonstrator. City Centre First will be a test track facility constructed in a live environment and will be made up of a combination of single track and double track lengths. The purpose of the City Centre First is to prove the assertions made during the development phase of the track form in the real-world environment. City Centre First is broken into 2 sections (Phases) of approximately equal length (800m each). This procurement is to award a contract for a contractor to deliver the construction of City Centre First Phase 1 (and potentially extend to cover the construction of Phase 2) . The scope will include: * construction of phase 1 of the test track (and phase 2 if extended) * construction of a cycle lane * the ordering of materials for Phase 1 as required by the Council for the construction (and phase 2 if extended) Please see the Standard Questionnaire and accompanying Works Information at www.cswjets.co.uk for more details on the procurement / requirement. Please note - ; Option to extend the contract has been included to cover phase 2 if the Council proceeds with phase 2 and incorporated into the contract value. Please see the Standard Questionnaire at www.csw-jets.co.uk for more details. Update 11/01/2024 - Within the Standard Questionnaire (SQ) - Section 12 - Mandatory Requirements Specific to this Procurement Exercise, the Council has removed two evaluation questions relating to subcontracting. As a result of this change and to ensure clarity - Submissions from Tenderers who propose/intend to subcontract the construction or rail installation of the demonstrator track will be deemed as compliant submissions.
