The council aims to conduct feasibility studies to support the development of a Town Centre Masterplan, focusing on enhancing the pedestrian experience while retaining vehicular access. The procurement method is a limited competitive quotation, and the tender deadline is set for January 15, 2024. The contract period spans from January 22 to March 31, 2024, with the location of the project being in Knutsford, England. This procurement opportunity presents a chance for businesses specializing in architectural design, engineering, and consultancy services to contribute to the revitalization of Knutsford Town Centre. With a focus on urban planning and landscape architecture, the tender suits small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) well. Suppliers must align with UKSPF guidance as the project receives funding from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, underscoring the importance of adherence to established standards and practices in the UK public procurement sector. ## Notice This project is funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF). The appointed contractor/supplier will be expected to ensure adherence to all UKSPF guidance. Knutsford Town Council is developing a Town Centre Masterplan for Knutsford, to set out a vision and forward plan for ensuring the ongoing vitality of Knutsford Town Centre. The masterplan will look to solve the long-discussed question of how to improve the pedestrian experience; the town has been polarised on pedestrianisation and it is considered that a solution which retains vehicular access whilst improving the pedestrian experience will generate the greatest support. In 2019/20 the Town Council developed and consulted on the From Top to Bottom Street report. This proposed a limited vehicular accessibility scheme (LVAS). The intention of this scheme was to control the flow and destination of traffic in the commercial heart of Knutsford and divided the town centre into three sectors which essentially form three loops - traffic cannot pass through the town centre, but can access the majority of the town centre. The From Top to Bottom Street report also proposed the creation of new public realm areas and changes to car parking arrangements. The principles were supported at a public consultation. We are now looking to undertake feasibility studies on different aspects of the From Top to Bottom Street report to ascertain its viability and costs. This will then form part of the Town Centre Masterplan which we (Knutsford Town Council) would work with Cheshire East Council to see delivered. Please see the tender pack for full information. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bb07005f-8114-443e-a4e8-51f6c43e09fe | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Competitive quotation (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Jan 2024 | | Submission deadline | 15 Jan 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 24 Jan 2024 | | Contract period | 22 Jan 2024 - 31 Mar 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £79,713 | | 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 | KNUTSFORD TOWN COUNCIL | | Locality | KNUTSFORD | | Post town | Warrington | | Postcode | WA16 6TA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD6 Cheshire | | ITL 3 | TLD62 Cheshire East | | Local authority | Cheshire East | | Electoral ward | Knutsford | | Westminster constituency | Tatton | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | HYDROCK CONSULTANTS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71210000 - Advisory architectural services - 71220000 - Architectural design services - 71240000 - Architectural, engineering and planning services - 71250000 - Architectural, engineering and surveying services - 71311200 - Transport systems consultancy services - 71311210 - Highways consultancy services - 71311300 - Infrastructure works consultancy services - 71400000 - Urban planning and landscape architectural services ## Release History - 30 Jan 2024 at 17:05 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bb07005f-8114-443e-a4e8-51f6c43e09fe - 26 Jan 2024 at 13:40 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bb07005f-8114-443e-a4e8-51f6c43e09fe - 15 Dec 2023 at 11:26 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bdb296ad-d551-47b2-b688-ce31f4a13659 - 7 Dec 2023 at 17:15 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bdb296ad-d551-47b2-b688-ce31f4a13659 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bb07005f-8114-443e-a4e8-51f6c43e09fe 30th January 2024 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bdb296ad-d551-47b2-b688-ce31f4a13659 15th December 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/ec91ab32-b94f-496e-be47-b98ccb6dad55 Tender Spec - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/6c5ad2ac-d353-4a08-a3af-55b9d7ad0162 From Top to Bottom Street Report (background doc) - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/68b7d33b-bc95-4e3a-be3c-608b4c0148fb Tender Spec ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
