This construction project, located in North West England, falls within the construction category and has a contract value of £11 million. The procurement stage is currently at the award phase, with the award date being April 8, 2021. The contract is set to commence on May 4, 2021, and be completed by August 14, 2022. Contractors had until January 15, 2021, to submit their tenders under an open procurement method, which highlights competitive bidding practices above a specified financial threshold. This tender presents a significant opportunity for construction companies, particularly SMEs with a minimum annual turnover of £22 million, to participate in a major infrastructure project that will enhance local transport routes and support tourism in the area. Businesses involved in earthworks, infrastructure development, and road construction will find this tender particularly relevant, offering them a chance to grow their portfolios through involvement in a key regional project that aims to improve accessibility and connectivity in the Lancashire area. ## Notice The Authority is seeking to appoint a Tenderer to undertake ground improvement works in advance of subsequent link road construction at a location to the south of the M55 Motorway Junction 4, running parallel to Wild Lane. The link road commences at the existing Whitehills roundabout, includes an intermediate roundabout and terminates on North Houses Lane. This tender is for the ground improvement works (earthworks and structures). The proposed link road will connect the existing roundabout at Whitehills Road to the north with Heyhouses Lane near the Cyprus Point development site to the south. The scheme will provide a sustainable corridor for pedestrians, cyclists and equestrian on the existing Wild Lane route and also maintain field access along the length of the route and access to an air navigation service facility for Blackpool and Manchester airports (commonly known as NATS which is the National Air Traffic Services) and a commercial business. The scheme will provide a single two-way carriageway road built to current highway standards which will facilitate a much more commodious route between the M55 Junction 4 at Peel Hill and the Heyhouses area of St Annes, replacing the substandard Wild Lane/North Houses Lane / Moss Road. It will provide significantly improved access by all transport modes to local development sites as well as supporting the tourism sector. It is proposed that the road will have an 'A' classification replacing the existing minor road classification over its full length and form part of the draft Lancashire key route network as agreed by Transport for Lancashire and recognising Lytham St Annes as an important economic centre. Additional information: The Authority asks that tenderers or the collective group of organisations (if tendering as part of a consortium) must have an annual turnover of no less than PS22,000,000. Turnover should be from no earlier than the 2019 financial year. If tenderers are unable to evidence this but are forecast to meet the PS22,000,000 threshold for the current calendar or financial year, evidence to this effect must be provided. Further details are available in the tender documentation. The minimum time frame during which the tenderer must maintain their submitted tender is 150 days from the closing date for the receipt of tenders. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/756b59d3-2213-48e7-9b5c-1abe2a87e159 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Apr 2021 | | Submission deadline | 15 Jan 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 7 Apr 2021 | | Contract period | 3 May 2021 - 13 Nov 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £11,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £6,807,660 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LANCASHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | PRESTON | | Post town | Preston | | Postcode | PR1 8XJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD4 Lancashire | | ITL 3 | TLD45 Mid Lancashire | | Local authority | Preston | | Electoral ward | City Centre | | Westminster constituency | Preston | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | DUO OPERATIONS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 16 Apr 2021 at 11:57 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/756b59d3-2213-48e7-9b5c-1abe2a87e159 - 17 Dec 2020 at 13:30 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e83c8b61-e6c4-4a92-bb91-336a407cb1fb - 7 Dec 2020 at 13:40 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e83c8b61-e6c4-4a92-bb91-336a407cb1fb - 2 Nov 2020 at 12:01 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e83c8b61-e6c4-4a92-bb91-336a407cb1fb ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/756b59d3-2213-48e7-9b5c-1abe2a87e159 16th April 2021 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e83c8b61-e6c4-4a92-bb91-336a407cb1fb 17th December 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.lancashire.gov.uk/isupplier/ LCC iSupplier Portal ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
