This initiative falls under the construction industry category and is located in the North West region of the United Kingdom. The tender, initiated on March 3, 2021, aimed to secure a contractor for an intrusive ground investigation along a 5.3 km section of the A595. The tender period concluded on March 16, 2021. The overall contract value is set at £100,000, with the contract expected to commence on March 26, 2021, and conclude by June 30, 2021. The procurement method utilised for this opportunity was an open procedure, allowing broader participation. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in construction work and geotechnical investigations. As the project aims to enhance highways, firms with expertise in earthworks, including cuttings, embankments, and culvert installations, may find this an advantageous opportunity to showcase their capabilities. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the project is designed with suitability for such businesses in mind. Engaging with the Cumbria County Council could foster further collaborations, making this a valuable prospect for growth in the public contracting space. ## Notice This opportunity is advertised through The Chest https://www.the-chest.org.uk/ Improvements to the A595 through Bothel are proposed over a length of 5.3km, located between Threapland Junction (southwest of Bothel) and Cock Bridge over the River Ellen (northeast of Bothel). The proposed highway construction involves online widening and new offline sections and will include earthworks comprising cuttings, embankments and a culvert to cross the local watercourse. A contractor is required to undertake an intrusive investigation. This will confirm the nature and condition of the superficial deposits and solid strata along the preferred alignment, with the groundwater and contaminative status also being determined. See tender document for further information. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8dab06c3-96e8-42df-916b-cbb092fda14f | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Mar 2021 | | Submission deadline | 16 Mar 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 19 Mar 2021 | | Contract period | 26 Mar 2021 - 30 Jun 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £93,904 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CUMBRIA COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | CARLISLE | | Post town | Carlisle | | Postcode | CA1 1RZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD1 Cumbria | | ITL 3 | TLD13 Cumberland | | Local authority | Cumberland | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Carlisle | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | RSK ENVIRONMENT | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 23 Mar 2021 at 09:54 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8dab06c3-96e8-42df-916b-cbb092fda14f - 3 Mar 2021 at 09:54 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/acdd43cb-939c-4ba5-b8f5-240b3bfa66cf ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8dab06c3-96e8-42df-916b-cbb092fda14f 23rd March 2021 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/acdd43cb-939c-4ba5-b8f5-240b3bfa66cf 3rd March 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=d1d3c199-1d78-eb11-810a-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.cumbria.gov.uk/ - https://www.the-chest.org.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
