Summary of the contracting process

The Gravesend Bus Hub project is being procured by Kent County Council to enhance transportation links within Gravesend's town centre, specifically between bus and rail services. This project, classified under construction and civil engineering, will involve constructing four new bus bays and refurbishing three existing bays, alongside various public realm improvements. The tender for this project, titled "SC20006 - Gravesend Bus Hub", was published on 13th October 2020 and is expected to conclude by 6th November 2020, with a construction period projected to last approximately nine months starting from 29th March 2021. The estimated cost of this initiative is around £2 million. 

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those within the construction sector, including firms specialising in civil engineering, public works, street lighting, and transport infrastructure. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the project aims to engage local suppliers to foster community involvement and economic growth. Companies that have experience in delivering similar large-scale transport projects will be particularly well-suited to compete for contracts associated with this initiative.

Notice Information

Notice Title

SC20006 - Gravesend Bus Hub

Notice Description

Interested suppliers should register interest via Kent Business Portal, any supplier registering an interest will automatically receive the SSQ. A new bus hub is to be implemented to improve the transport interchange between bus and rail in Gravesend town centre, Barrack Row & Garrick Street. The Gravesend Bus Hub scheme was made possible with the completion of the Rathmore Road scheme, which implemented a re-routing of the one-way traffic system in Gravesend town centre. This scheme aims to improve rail, bus, bike and pedestrian links. Land previously owned by Network Rail to the south of Barrack Row has been acquired to provide the space necessary for 4 new bus stops in this location. KCC completed this purchase in March 2018. The two tenants in place on the land Hertz Rentals & Saturn Taxis have both now vacated and the property is secure. As the land acquired from NR came without any Right of Support, the existing slope stability presents a risk of undermining the new infrastructure works and canopies to be installed as part of the bus interchange in Barrack Row. To mitigate the risk, slope stabilisation works will be installed. For the Garrick Street improvements, KCC Public Transport require a high-quality product that enhances the premium bus service offered by Fastrack. A Kent based architect was commissioned to work up canopy designs for Fastrack in Garrick Street. The style and type of canopy has then been used along Barrack Row to give a similar quality feel and look for the local bus stops. Planning permission drawings and documents have been submitted to KCC Planning as the works are not covered by permitted development rights and come under a Regulation 3 application, with Gravesham Planning being consulted as part of the planning process. Determination is currently scheduled for mid-October 2020. The current planning application can be found Here https://www.kentplanningapplications.co.uk/Disclaimer?returnUrl=/Planning The works will involve: * The construction of four new bus bays and the refurbishment of three existing bus bays including public realm works of which 1,850m2 will be in granite paving * Street lighting and a traffic signal junction upgrade * Installation of three dual pitch canopies with a 41.400m x 6m canopy in Garrick Street and two 19.230m x 4m canopies in Barrack Row together with canopy lighting and timber street furniture comprising seating, planters, and litter bins * Installation of electric bus opportunity charging infrastructure and associated ducts * 200 m2 of slope stabilisation comprising soil nailing and flexible facing to the Network Rail slope * 20m long proprietary segmental pre-cast reinforced concrete wall * Statutory Undertakers diversionary works Construction period circa 9 mths on site Anticipated construction costs circa PS2M More information on the project can be found Here https://www.kent.gov.uk/roads-and-travel/road-projects/in-progress-road-projects/gravesend-bus-hub#tab-1
