The procurement stage is a selective process using a Restricted procedure above the threshold. The tender is based in the South West region, United Kingdom, with a tender period ending on July 14, 2023. The contract period is scheduled to run from January 8, 2024, to March 31, 2024, with a total contract value of £5,200,000. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in construction works to bid for the creation of subterranean training facilities for the National Urban Training Facility on Salisbury Plain Training Area. SMEs are encouraged to participate in this tender process. The Ministry of Defence, as the buying organisation, has outlined specific requirements to replicate modern warfare environments while ensuring environmental protection measures are met in the construction process. ## Notice Expressions of Interest are requested to tender for a construction contract in order to provide the National Urban Training Facility (NUTF) on Salisbury Plain Training Area (SPTA) with subterranean training facilities. Requirements are likely to include the following: 1. A subterranean training facility within the perimeter of the NUTF connected to existing buildings consisting of surface and sub-surface pre-cast concrete pipes and tunnels, cast in-situ concrete structures and fixed M&E including lighting, fire detection and alarm and mechanical ventilation. 2. A subterranean training facility outside the perimeter of the NUTF connected to existing buildings consisting of sub-surface pre-cast concrete pipes and tunnels, cast in-situ concrete structures and fixed M&E including lighting, fire detection and alarm and mechanical ventilation. The effect to be achieved is training facilities that replicate a contemporary operating environment that has been subjected to modern warfare. The new facilities must enable the trainer to create realistic environments that cover a multitude of scenarios in the urban environment. The proposed facilities are on SSSI. This will require careful planning so as not to intentionally or recklessly damage the features of special interest, disturb wildlife or cause damage to the surrounding grassland. All necessary undertakings to meet planning, consent and condition requirements of local authority and other statutory bodies must be included as part of the deliverables. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ceec6f2e-19fa-40e9-b0e6-0b076d485aac | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Jun 2023 | | Submission deadline | 14 Jul 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 8 Jan 2024 - 31 Mar 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £5,200,000 | | 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 | MINISTRY OF DEFENCE | | Locality | WILTSHIRE | | Post town | Salisbury | | Postcode | SP3 4RS | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK72 Wiltshire | | Local authority | Wiltshire | | Electoral ward | Till Valley | | Westminster constituency | East Wiltshire | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 30 Jun 2023 at 13:44 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ceec6f2e-19fa-40e9-b0e6-0b076d485aac ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ceec6f2e-19fa-40e9-b0e6-0b076d485aac 30th June 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://contracts.mod.uk/ Link to eSourcing Portal - https://contracts.mod.uk/esop/guest/go/opportunity/detail?opportunityId=56550 Link to Opportunity Detail ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
