The tender falls under the construction industry category and is currently in the active tender stage, with bids due by 20th May 2022. The project aims to enhance environmental safety at KCC’s North Farm Closed Landfill Site in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, with a financial value of £1.2 million. The contract is intended to commence on 9th August 2022, and will run until 11th November 2022. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on environmental construction and engineering, particularly those skilled in landfill remediation and gas infrastructure development. Companies that classify as small or medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSE) may find this tender especially well-suited for their capabilities. Engaging in this project allows firms to contribute to local environmental efforts while potentially expanding their portfolio and growing their presence in the public sector. ## Notice Kent County Council (KCC) is the largest local authority in England covering an area of 3,500 square kilometres. It has an annual expenditure of over PS1bn on goods and services and a population of 1.6m. The Council provides a wide range of personal and strategic services on behalf of its residents, operating in partnership with the NHS Kent and Medway Clinical Commissioning Group, 12 district councils, and 289 parish/town councils. KCC consists of four directorates: * Adult Social Care and Health; * Children, Young People and Education; * Growth, Environment and Transport; and * Strategic and Corporate Services. This service is being commissioned on behalf of the Growth, Environment and Transport directorate. KCC's North Farm Closed Landfill Site (CLF) is situated on the edge of the North Farm Retail Park, Tunbridge Wells. The Site is bounded by woodland to the north, a railway line and woodland to the west. Residential property is present to the south west of the Site. North Farm Retail Park is present to the east and south, along with Southern Water's waste water treatment works and the KCC Waste Transfer Station (WTS) and Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC). The Somerhill Stream runs along the northern and eastern Site borders. The primary work objectives are to reduce the amount of water discharged to the Southern Water Wastewater Treatment Works and to maintain or improve the gas infrastructure system to enable the possible future electricity generation through a gas engine. These objectives will be met through provision of an impermeable Geo-composite Clay Liner (GCL) with a covering protection layer of soil to the landfill cap, creation of a detention basin, and construction of a replacement gas infrastructure network. The impermeable clay liner will restrict infiltration of surface water through the landfill cap reducing leachate volumes. Surface water run-off will be captured through filter drains and directed towards the detention basin for discharge to the surrounding surface water bodies. The landfill cap will have the secondary effect of reducing atmospheric ingress and waste moisture content which together with the improved gas infrastructure network should improve the quality of gas extracted and the overall efficiency of the system. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8989f33d-561b-47e8-a421-8048455f0840 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Apr 2022 | | Submission deadline | 20 May 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 8 Aug 2022 - 11 Nov 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,200,000 | | 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 | KENT COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | MAIDSTONE | | Post town | Rochester | | Postcode | ME14 1XQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ4 Kent | | ITL 3 | TLJ45 Mid Kent | | Local authority | Maidstone | | Electoral ward | Penenden Heath | | Westminster constituency | Maidstone and Malling | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 29 Apr 2022 at 08:39 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8989f33d-561b-47e8-a421-8048455f0840 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8989f33d-561b-47e8-a421-8048455f0840 29th April 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.kent.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
