This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in developing engagement strategies for infrastructure projects.

Engaging with stakeholders and delivering effective communication plans are essential competencies for potential suppliers in this project. ## Notice This RFQ is a remit for work by a supplier to develop and support deployment of a consultation and engagement plan for the Associated Works for the East West Rail's Bedford-Cambridge Development Consent Order (DCO). This plan will be developed to integrate with the wider EWR consultation & engagement strategy and plan which includes consultation & engagement for the DCO (including the new railway between Bedford to Cambridge) and the overall communications and engagement strategy for EWR Co and the project. The Associated Works will likely include work on rail infrastructure including Bedford Midland Station and interfaces with the existing rail network. We are looking for a consultation partner to work with us and our stakeholders during the pre-application stage of the DCO in particular to support consultation on design options before statutory consultation on the preferred scheme. EWR Co is looking for a supplier to develop and deliver a consultation & engagement plan that meets the requirements of the Planning Act 2008 Act, embodies our company values and delivers a streamlined DCO process to maximise the potential to deliver the project benefits as early as possible. The supplier will work with the EWR Co team, alongside the established Engineering Partner for the main DCO work to deliver the new railway (Arup), suppliers providing town planning and property services and delivery partners for the Associated Works on existing rail infrastructure. The appointed supplier will have a strong background in completing projects of this type including delivery of consultation & engagement plans to support a Development Consent Order and to support delivery of major upgrades to the existing railway network. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/13bf01b8-9151-4344-88cc-973bf92450c4 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Competitive quotation (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Jul 2020 | | Submission deadline | 21 Jul 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 17 Aug 2020 - 31 May 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £140,000 | | 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 | DFT OLR4 LIMITED | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1H 9AE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71311200 - Transport systems consultancy services - 71311230 - Railway engineering services - 71311300 - Infrastructure works consultancy services ## Release History - 7 Jul 2020 at 13:30 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/13bf01b8-9151-4344-88cc-973bf92450c4 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/13bf01b8-9151-4344-88cc-973bf92450c4 7th July 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b97f8e00-ea94-4d42-a490-aa321ee31b8a RFQ for EWR Consultation Engagement Plan - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/122d4967-5e96-4d41-8dbd-fec804c5e4a3 Appendix B - Consultation Engagement Plan - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/599d4fa2-fba7-4acb-8da2-faed03bb7541 Appendix D - Consultation Engagement Plan ## Notice URLs - https://www.eastwestrail.co.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
