This initiative falls under the category of feasibility studies and is being conducted through an open procurement process. The tender is active with a submission deadline set for 20th July 2020, and the project is expected to commence on 3rd August 2020, with a contract duration extending until 26th February 2021. The value of the contract is estimated at £48,000, and the primary focus is on services in the Yorkshire and the Humber region. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in feasibility studies and advisory services, particularly those with expertise in cycling infrastructure, sustainable transport solutions, or community engagement in protected areas. Companies that can demonstrate experience in similar projects, an understanding of local sensitivities, and the capacity for collaborative work with community stakeholders could be particularly well-suited to participate in this tender. Engaging in this project could not only enhance your portfolio but also contribute to the development of valuable community assets along the scenic North Yorkshire Coast. ## Notice The feasibility project will look at options and costings to create a safe cycle link connect the village of Staithes to the town of Whitby on the North Yorkshire Coast. The link will serve local people and communities as well as visitors to the coast. It also has the potential to fill a gap in the National Cycle Network route 1. There is an opportunity to link the two settlements and communities between through use of the disused railway line that once ran between them. For a large part of the route, the track bed is still in use as a walkway and aspirational outcome of the project is to bring the railway line and its associated infrastructure back into use as a cycleway. This includes exploring the potential to reopen two sections of railway tunnel to create a unique user experience. An initial structural report into the condition of the tunnels has been undertaken. In Staithes and between Sandsend and Whitby, the line has been largely lost and so a safe solution needs to be found to make the connections into the towns at either end of the railway section. It is expected that the southern link will connect to the existing Cinder Track which runs from Whitby to Scarborough taking into account local sensitivities. Consideration should be made to the unique setting in a protected landscape, the historical context of the area and engagement with the community will be essential to the success of this project. Most of the land in the proposed area between Staithes and Sandsend is owned by Mulgrave Estate who are partners in the project and very supportive of its aspirations. Other land ownership needs to be determined as part of the project. The nature of the project means that there is potential for considerable costs, both capital and revenue to implement and maintain any works in the future. It is essential that all options consider the long term maintenance liabilities so that they are identified and understood at the outset of the project. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8be5f472-d1d5-4ae8-96c6-63716c17933d | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Jun 2020 | | Submission deadline | 20 Jul 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 2 Aug 2020 - 26 Feb 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £48,000 | | 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 | NORTH YORK MOORS NATIONAL PARK AUTHORITY | | Locality | YORK | | Post town | York | | Postcode | YO62 5BP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE2 North Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE22 North Yorkshire | | Local authority | North Yorkshire | | Electoral ward | Helmsley & Sinnington | | Westminster constituency | Thirsk and Malton | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71241000 - Feasibility study, advisory service, analysis ## Release History - 30 Jun 2020 at 16:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8be5f472-d1d5-4ae8-96c6-63716c17933d ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8be5f472-d1d5-4ae8-96c6-63716c17933d 30th June 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN159997 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - https://www.northyorkmoors.org.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
