This project is based in Barrow-in-Furness, England, and is at the Tender stage of the procurement process. The tender period concludes on 15th July 2022, with a project contract set to commence on 1st August 2022 and extend until 1st July 2024. The total value of this contract is £700,000, and the procurement method is an open procedure. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in design, engineering, and construction services, particularly those capable of managing complex improvements to urban infrastructure. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will find this tender particularly suitable, as they may possess the agility and innovation needed for the detailed design and enabling works required at the Marina Village development site. Companies that can collaborate on utility relocations and junction upgrades will be well-positioned to compete for this contract, contributing to local economic growth while enhancing their own business prospects. ## Notice Marina Village is a proposed mixed-use scheme that would transform a currently derelict brownfield site on the north side of Buccleuch Dock, on the edge of Barrow-in-Furness town centre. The majority of the 25-hectare site is in council ownership. Funding has been secured through Getting Building Fund to remediate the ground conditions across a first development phase (approx. 6 hectares), which can be accessed via a new purpose built access off Salthouse Road. The south and east of the Marina Village site require additional enabling works, presenting a viability challenge for private developers. The Council has secured PS1.5m to provide an upgraded junction to the south west of the Marina Village site connecting Cavendish Dock Road to Strand / Salthouse Road and to relocate a new substation and utilities diversions on the east of the site. These interventions remove two major constraints on further private sector development. The project is at a stage where it requires a detailed design to be undertaken with associated additional survey and investigation works to enable the project to be let for construction by competitive tender via the Chest. Planning permission will also be required as Cavendish Dock Road is currently not adopted and due to its setting in relation to a number of listed buildings. This project scope details the Services required to 1) enable the upgrade of the existing Cavendish Dock Road/Salthouse Road junction to a fit for purpose right turn priority junction (as detailed within the existing concept design). 2) Act as agent on behalf of the Council and engage with ENW to secure the relocation of the sub station at Marina Village. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/203c3cd5-ef26-4cb9-bd29-859af7db40ac | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Jun 2022 | | Submission deadline | 15 Jul 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Jul 2022 - 1 Jul 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £700,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BARROW IN FURNESS BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | BARROW IN FURNESS | | Post town | Lancaster | | Postcode | LA14 2LD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD1 Cumbria | | ITL 3 | TLD14 Westmorland and Furness | | Local authority | Westmorland and Furness | | Electoral ward | Old Barrow and Hindpool | | Westminster constituency | Barrow and Furness | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 71000000 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 79000000 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ## Release History - 28 Jun 2022 at 11:55 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/203c3cd5-ef26-4cb9-bd29-859af7db40ac ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/203c3cd5-ef26-4cb9-bd29-859af7db40ac 28th June 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=39cef7f1-d1eb-ec11-8115-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.barrowbc.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
