The engagement period is set to end on 30 August 2024. The process aims to involve local suppliers, SMEs, and wider landscaping and civils contractors from the Yorkshire and the Humber region. This framework will include multiple lots covering areas such as hard and soft landscaping, masonry, highways surfacing, fencing, and the installation of play and sports equipment. The overall anticipated value of the framework is £6.5 million. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in landscaping, masonry, civil works, and horticultural services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs). The framework is designed to allow suppliers to bid for one or multiple lots, with no limit on the number of lots that can be awarded to a single contractor, thereby maximising participation. Successful suppliers will have the prospect of ongoing work through further competitions or direct awards, promising steady business growth. Additionally, the engagement phase will help identify and eliminate potential barriers for suppliers, facilitating a smoother tender process and better chances for local businesses to secure contracts. ## Notice The purpose of this consultation is to engage with local suppliers, SME's and wider landscaping and civils contractors to raise awareness of the upcoming opportunity to apply for a place on the Council's external works framework - incorporating hard and soft landscaping, masonry, highways surfacing and civils works, fencing and metal works and supply and installation of play and sports equipment. The council will set out the expected procurement plan and supplier assessment requirements to explore interest in the replacement framework and determine: * what factors the Council need to consider for the re-procurement; * what would remove any barriers for the supply market; and * opportunities for the Council to consider. Rotherham MBC is looking to create a replacement framework of prequalified suppliers. The framework is proposed to be for 6 Lots, suppliers will be able to tender for a place on one Lot, multiple Lots or all Lots. There are no restrictions on the number of Lots that will be awarded to any one Contractor. The Council is looking to appoint up to 8 suppliers to each lot. Call-off procedures will be through further competitions or via direct award based on lot ranking. The overall framework value is expected to be PS6.5million across all lots. The Lot values and through puts are based on the size of typical existing landscape projects which arise from HRA, S106 play improvements CIL and ward capital and Greenspaces capital programme. We have also considered potential anticipated project values based on known Capital funding for the Greenspaces Play capital PS919k, Towns & Villages Fund of PS920k. Our Places and Levelling funded projects, we have estimated that approximately 30% of the total Our Places Fund may be awarded externally via this framework for either whole projects or elements such as fencing works Further details can be found for free at https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Supplier/PublicPurchase/84507/0/0?returnUrl=ctm/Supplier/PublicTenders&b=UK ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/724eb2b5-13c3-485d-b2f2-a99e8a2d7297 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Aug 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 30 Aug 2024 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ROTHERHAM METROPOLITAN BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | ROTHERHAM | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S60 1AE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE3 South Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE34 Rotherham | | Local authority | Rotherham | | Electoral ward | Boston Castle | | Westminster constituency | Rotherham | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 03 - Agricultural, farming, fishing, forestry and related products - 37 - Musical instruments, sport goods, games, toys, handicraft, art materials and accessories - 39 - Furniture (incl. office furniture), furnishings, domestic appliances (excl. lighting) and cleaning products - 45 - Construction work - 77 - Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services ### Codes - 03400000 - Forestry and logging products - 37535000 - Roundabouts, swings, shooting galleries and other fairground amusements - 39293300 - Artificial grass - 45112700 - Landscaping work - 45112710 - Landscaping work for green areas - 45112711 - Landscaping work for parks - 45112720 - Landscaping work for sports grounds and recreational areas - 45112723 - Landscaping work for playgrounds - 45233150 - Traffic-calming works - 45233161 - Footpath construction work - 45233200 - Various surface works - 45233221 - Road-surface painting work - 45233222 - Paving and asphalting works - 45233250 - Surfacing work except for roads - 45233251 - Resurfacing works - 45233253 - Surface work for footpaths - 45233270 - Parking-lot-surface painting work - 45233293 - Installation of street furniture - 45262500 - Masonry and bricklaying work - 45340000 - Fencing, railing and safety equipment installation work - 77300000 - Horticultural services ## Release History - 13 Aug 2024 at 13:31 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/724eb2b5-13c3-485d-b2f2-a99e8a2d7297 - 9 Aug 2024 at 13:03 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/724eb2b5-13c3-485d-b2f2-a99e8a2d7297 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/724eb2b5-13c3-485d-b2f2-a99e8a2d7297 13th August 2024 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Supplier/PublicPurchase/84507/0/0?returnUrl=ctm/Supplier/PublicTenders&b=UK ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
