The procurement is currently at the tender stage, with an open procedure method. The tender period concludes on 19 November 2018, with expected funding approval by March 2019. Notably, works are scheduled to commence in May 2019, with all tasks to be completed by January 2020, although specific constructions related to a boardwalk and viewing platform will occur in winter 2019/20 to protect local wildlife. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses focused on environmental conservation and construction. Companies that specialise in ecological works, landscaping, or related construction services may find this a fitting project to compete for, especially given the two Lots structure allowing bidders to submit proposals for one or both. With a contract value of £60,000, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, potentially expanding their portfolio in sustainable development and contributing to local biodiversity initiatives. ## Notice Martin's Pond is designated as a Local Nature Reserve (LNR) believed to be the first site designated as such in Nottinghamshire over 40 years ago. Nestled in amongst a houses and allotments in Wollaton, Martin's Pond is a hidden gem along with the adjacent Harrisons Plantation Local Nature Reserve. In Nottingham, 14 sites have been designated as LNR's forming part of our valuable open space network. The site supports open water, channel, marsh and swamp, wet woodland and an array of birdlife, mammals and invertebrates. There is an active community group called the Friends of Wollaton Local Nature Reserves, who formed around 14 years ago. They carry out regular work parties and day to day activities. The project aims to enhance the access to biodiversity of Martin's Pond for the local community and encourage visitors to learn about the sites' wildlife. This tender is made up of two Lots and tenderers may bid for one or both Lots. Each Lot will be evaluated individually using the responses submitted by the tenderers for that Lot. Funding approval is expected by March 2019 with works starting at the beginning of May 2019. All works for Lot Two must be completed by the end of August 2019. Works for Lot One will start at the beginning of May 2019 and must be completed by the end of August 2019 with the exception of the boardwalk and viewing platform where construction will take place during winter 2019/20 to avoid harm to nesting birds. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6e68e578-e764-4590-9585-bf0c5cb27f3f | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Oct 2018 | | Submission deadline | 19 Nov 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Apr 2019 - 31 Jan 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £60,000 | | 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 | NOTTINGHAM CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | NOTTINGHAM | | Post town | Nottingham | | Postcode | NG2 3NG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF14 Nottingham | | Local authority | Nottingham | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Nottingham East | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45212000 - Construction work for buildings relating to leisure, sports, culture, lodging and restaurants ## Release History - 19 Oct 2018 at 09:44 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6e68e578-e764-4590-9585-bf0c5cb27f3f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6e68e578-e764-4590-9585-bf0c5cb27f3f 19th October 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=54637dbe-82d3-e811-80ef-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
