This project is categorised under construction works for commercial buildings and falls under the open procurement procedure. Interested parties should note that the tender period ends on 24 August 2022, with the contract start date anticipated on 12 September 2022, lasting until 9 December 2022. The estimated value of the contract ranges from £25,000 to £50,000, with delivery expected in the South West region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) within the construction sector, particularly those with experience in timber construction and environmental projects. Firms specialising in sustainable building practices and capable of utilising locally sourced materials would be especially well-suited to compete for this project. By participating, businesses can not only contribute to the woodland management at Westonbirt but also enhance their portfolio with a prestigious project in a nationally recognised arboretum. ## Notice We will be awarding a contract for the design and build of a new timber framed coppice shelter located in Silk Wood at Westonbirt Arboretum. The new shelter will help us continue the critical programme of woodland management and secure the future of coppicing at Westonbirt. The new shelter will provide cover for our coppicers which will enable them to undertake tasks in all weather and allow them to store materials and products associated with the coppice. The Contractor is required to design and build a new shelter which will be made from timber grown and milled at Westonbirt. The shelter will be similar in style to other buildings at the arboretum such as the Silkwood Barn and the Westonbirt Woodworks. The building will be of oak frame construction, traditionally built with a boarded timber roof. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/173209ef-9235-48f1-9074-561894db3b0b | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Jul 2022 | | Submission deadline | 24 Aug 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 11 Sep 2022 - 9 Dec 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000 | | 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 | FORESTRY COMMISSION, ACTING THROUGH FORESTRY ENGLAND (HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AS FORESTRY ENGLAND) | | Locality | BRISTOL | | Post town | Bristol | | Postcode | BS16 1EJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK52 Bath & North East Somerset and South Gloucestershire | | Local authority | South Gloucestershire | | Electoral ward | Stoke Park & Cheswick | | Westminster constituency | Filton and Bradley Stoke | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45213000 - Construction work for commercial buildings, warehouses and industrial buildings, buildings relating to transport ## Release History - 28 Jul 2022 at 08:40 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/173209ef-9235-48f1-9074-561894db3b0b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/173209ef-9235-48f1-9074-561894db3b0b 28th July 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-Bristol:-Timber-framed-shelter---Westonbirt-Arboretum-Coppice/466V9XYK24 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
