This procurement falls under the works category and is currently in the Tender stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 7th September 2018. The total budget for this project is £20,000. The works involve addressing drainage issues caused by high groundwater levels and expanding the car parking facilities at the site. The contract is scheduled to commence on 1st October 2018 and conclude by 14th December 2018. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in ground-drainage work and related infrastructure projects. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to apply, given the procurement method is open and suitable for them. The project is ideal for contractors specialising in civil engineering and landscaping who can provide innovative solutions to drainage and access issues, potentially leading to increased visibility and further contracts in the region. ## Notice The Sill Landscape Discovery Centre was completed in June 2017, and it has attracted more than 150,000 visitors in its first year. As the new infrastructure beds in, some minor works are necessary to reflect the ground conditions that have evolved though the appearance of high water levels and to adapt to traffic use. The works outlined below sets out to address those items. Phase 1. Over the last 12 months localised areas of high level ground water have appeared. This can be caused by the natural water table or by compacted ground as a result of the large scale building works over the previous years. Our engineers have detailed local solutions to each high water spot, and these are outlined in these works. The footpath down to the overflow car park and the overflow car park itself, have also been prone to suffer excess surface water, and as such the construction of some open ditches are included in the Schedule of Works and Drawings. There is also an opportunity here to extend the current car parking provision, and the creation of an additional 11 spaces are included in this project. Phase 2. The overflow car park was originally designed for limited use, but such has been the demand for parking, a more substantial access track is required. As such, phase 2 of the project will be the construction of a solid track around the field, with the desired end result being the appearance of a farm track. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/177bb5d9-a873-4da2-a76f-921bdd107fc6 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 Aug 2018 | | Submission deadline | 7 Sep 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Sep 2018 - 14 Dec 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £20,000 | | 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 | NORTHUMBERLAND NATIONAL PARK AUTHORITY | | Locality | HEXHAM | | Post town | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Postcode | NE46 1BS | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC4 Northumberland, Durham and Tyne & Wear | | ITL 3 | TLC42 Northumberland | | Local authority | Northumberland | | Electoral ward | Hexham East | | Westminster constituency | Hexham | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45111240 - Ground-drainage work ## Release History - 9 Aug 2018 at 16:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/177bb5d9-a873-4da2-a76f-921bdd107fc6 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/177bb5d9-a873-4da2-a76f-921bdd107fc6 9th August 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG155155 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://www.northumberlandnationalpark.org.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
