This procurement falls under the Construction industry category (CPV 45000000) and aims to establish relationships for the operation and potential funding of research and development buildings. Key activities include a supplier event scheduled for 15 March 2021 and a deadline for engagement responses set for 31 March 2021, providing a crucial opportunity for interested parties to contribute insights into the project. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the construction and development sectors, particularly those skilled in research and development consultancy, design execution, and the construction of non-residential real estate. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, especially those interested in long-term investment or partnership possibilities with the authority. Engaging in this process can provide firms with a chance to showcase their expertise and potentially win contracts that contribute to the innovative developments at the University of Peterborough. ## Notice The CPCA are creating a new University Campus in Peterborough and are currently looking at how the Phase 2 Research & Development building will be operated and how a Phase 4 Research & Development Building may be funded and built along with whether there is any potential for a longer-term investment / development relationship with a potential operator/ investor/ contractor/ developer (which may be a consortia arrangement) To support the development of the project, the CPCA is keen to engage with the market to understand how it might respond to these options and to ensure the selected route will deliver immediate and long-term commercial benefit to the project. As such the CPCA is keen to engage through two mechanisms - a market engagement webinar where we can share information on the project and the scheme aspirations and through a Request for Information Questionnaire. The CPCA will be holding a supplier event on 15/03/2021 between 13:00 and 15:00 and requested that interested parties express a wish to attend through the e-tendering portal. A link to the event will then be shared the day before the event. In addition, the CPCA has created a questionnaire covering some key points for which it would like market input; interested economic operators are invited to complete and submit the questionnaire through the messaging section of the e-tendering portal as soon as possible. Economic operators that attend the event are welcome to provide additional feedback (also through the messaging section) up until the deadline for engagement. In addition, the CPCA may ask additional questions, in response to completed questionnaires, throughout this consultation period through the e-tendering portal until the deadline for this stage; as such, in submitting a completed questionnaire; economic operators are required to mark as confidential and commercially sensitive any information or questions to which they require our response not to be a public one. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3312bec4-b8a2-4d06-82ab-c68cabdd7e40 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Feb 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 31 Mar 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CAMBRIDGESHIRE & PETERBOROUGH COMBINED AUTHORITY | | Locality | ELY | | Post town | Cambridge | | Postcode | CB7 4LS | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH42 Cambridgeshire CC | | Local authority | East Cambridgeshire | | Electoral ward | Ely East | | Westminster constituency | Ely and East Cambridgeshire | | 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 - 45 - Construction work - 70 - Real estate services - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work - 70112000 - Development of non-residential real estate - 73111000 - Research laboratory services - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services - 73300000 - Design and execution of research and development ## Release History - 17 Feb 2021 at 10:13 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3312bec4-b8a2-4d06-82ab-c68cabdd7e40 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3312bec4-b8a2-4d06-82ab-c68cabdd7e40 17th February 2021 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=1b89f84a-d56a-eb11-8108-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - https://cambridgeshirepeterborough-ca.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
