This construction work procurement is valued at £1,000,000 GBP and involves the development of a footpath and cycleway network in Taunton Town Centre. The tender period ends on 22nd December 2022, with the contract period scheduled from 22nd February 2023 to 31st March 2024. The Council plans to engage a 'preferred supplier' in a two-stage tender process, first for pre-construction scope and then for the main works contract. This tender opportunity presents a chance for businesses in the construction industry, particularly those involved in structural products and active travel infrastructure, to participate in a significant regeneration project. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) would be particularly well-suited for this tender, considering the Council's emphasis on engaging with the preferred supplier for both pre-construction and main works phases. The location of the project in Taunton, England, provides a regional growth opportunity for local businesses looking to contribute to the enhancement of active travel infrastructure in the area. ## Notice Somerset West and Taunton Council are investing PS66m in Taunton Town Centre regeneration schemes . A long-held ambition of the Council is to enable active travel improvements for Taunton Town Centre. In particular, the development of a comprehensive and integrated footpath and cycleway network with improved signage and cycle parking facilities. The proposals for the River Tone bridge consider a new footbridge crossing the River Tone located at the existing Morrison's Bandstand on the northern bank of the River Tone and adjoins the southern bank. The proposed scheme joins the National Cycle Network Route 3, adjacent to the northern bank of the River Tone to the existing footway adjacent to the southern bank. The Council is inviting Bids from Applicants in response to the published advertisement. The procedure will employ a 'Two-Stage' tender process, whereby a 'preferred supplier' will be shortlisted during this 'first stage' tender exercise. The preferred supplier will subsequently be formally engaged on the basis of a 'Pre-Construction Agreement' to deliver 'pre-construction scope'. The intention is then for the Council to engage with the preferred supplier to deliver the works on the basis of the 'main works' contract. This 'second stage' award of the main works contract is on the proviso of successful agreement of a contract sum/tendered offering to undertake the works. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cf92bc74-68a8-479c-9422-b814340a379b | | 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 | 21 Nov 2022 | | Submission deadline | 22 Dec 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 22 Feb 2023 - 31 Mar 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,000,000 | | 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 | SOMERSET WEST AND TAUNTON COUNCIL | | Locality | TAUNTON | | Post town | Taunton | | Postcode | TA1 1HE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK6 North Somerset, Somerset and Dorset | | ITL 3 | TLK62 Somerset | | Local authority | Somerset | | Electoral ward | Bishop's Hull & Taunton West | | Westminster constituency | Taunton and Wellington | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 44200000 - Structural products - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 21 Nov 2022 at 15:34 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cf92bc74-68a8-479c-9422-b814340a379b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cf92bc74-68a8-479c-9422-b814340a379b 21st November 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=5160a8be-8969-ed11-811b-9f38301b3091 Advert ## Notice URLs - https://somersetwestandtaunton.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
