This initiative falls under the architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services category and is located in London, United Kingdom. The procurement method is a selective, restricted procedure, with the tender period closing on 7th October 2020. The expected contract period spans from 9th February 2021 to 30th December 2025, with a project cost estimated at around GBP 35 million. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the architectural and design sectors, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in landscape design and urban planning. Companies that offer innovative solutions for public spaces, sustainable development practices, and community-focused designs would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in this project can allow businesses to showcase their capabilities in transforming urban environments and contributing positively to community development. ## Notice This is a contract to engage a design team for the design of Camden Highline.Railway viaducts and bridges are an integral part of Camden Town's history and identity. The beauty of the Camden Highline project is that it brings these structures to life, reimagining what is already a distinctive neighbourhood and making use of spaces that are otherwise redundant and inaccessible to the public.The Camden Highline is modelled on the hugely successful New York High Line and comprises a new public park and garden walk, transforming the elevated railway between Camden Town and King's Cross into a new green artery for London. The aim is that the Highline will be a beacon for positive and sustainable development in the city: something that people will be inspired by, learn from and enjoy; an intervention that is harmonious within its neighbourhood.The Highline will be open and free to all, a beautiful and welcoming linear garden, punctuated with seating areas, cafes, arts and cultural interventions and spaces for charitable activities, to further enhance the individuality of the experience and help promote social cohesion.The Highline will be 1.2km long, running some 8-metres above the ground, its width varies from 3-metres at its narrowest, to 20-metres at its widest. It will run parallel but separate to the active North London Line, through residential and industrial areas, as well as conservation areas. It will create a unique garden walk, offering an unfamiliar and unique perspective on the city, away from the hustle bustle of the streets below. It will link the hugely popular Camden Market to the rapidly developing King's Cross development, in a little over ten minutes. Starting at Kentish Town Road to the West, and ending at York Way to the East, the route has four proposed entrances, one of which could include access directly from the Grade II listed Camden Road Overground station and another that integrates with the proposed Camley Street redevelopment. It comprises three distinct sections, some wider than others, which would naturally suggest a phased design and delivery plan, depending on funding.The expected project cost is in the region of GBP 35m. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/849d9b3c-1c1a-48e1-8748-4b29d30695ca | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 Sep 2020 | | Submission deadline | 7 Oct 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 9 Feb 2021 - 30 Dec 2025 | | 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 | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CAMDEN TOWN CENTRE LIMITED | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | North West London | | Postcode | NW1 8NJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI36 Camden | | Local authority | Camden | | Electoral ward | Camden Town | | Westminster constituency | Holborn and St Pancras | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71000000 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ## Release History - 9 Sep 2020 at 16:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/849d9b3c-1c1a-48e1-8748-4b29d30695ca ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/849d9b3c-1c1a-48e1-8748-4b29d30695ca 9th September 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP160383 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.colander.co.uk/architectural-competitions/colander-competitions/camdenhighline ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
