This procurement is classified under miscellaneous engineering services and is active in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The tender period is set to close on 8th February 2019, with the contract duration expected to begin on 1st March 2019 and extend until 30th April 2019. This tender follows an open procurement method, which allows for competitive bidding below threshold financial limits, with a budget of £20,000. This opportunity presents substantial growth potential for businesses specialising in engineering services, particularly those with expertise in construction methodologies and feasibility studies related to marine structures. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to submit bids, especially those that can offer innovative construction strategies and technical evaluations. Companies engaged in the development of precast and reinforced concrete solutions or those with experience in modular construction should find this tender particularly relevant. ## Notice 1 Background/Introduction Wave-tricty Ltd intends to construct a full-scale concrete hybrid generation platform, which will be a large and complex build. detailed engineering design is anticipated to commence in Q1 2019. The platform hull will be a ship-shaped barge circa 100m x 25m and will be constructed from marine grade concrete. Project Specifications 2 There are a number of construction methodologies available to build this type of structure, each with varying advantages and disadvantages with respect to the design of the platform hull. The requirement is to conduct construction feasibility study to provide the Wave-tricty Ltd design team with a recommended construction methodology prior to starting detailed engineering. This will minimise design risk and cost during the next phase of works and allow for early engagement with potential fabrication sites for the platform. SCOPE In undertaking this study, the following areas shall be investigated and evaluated in terms of technical advantages and disadvantages. An associated high-level qualitative cost analysis shall also be presented, in order to provide final recommendation of a suitable construction strategy: A summary and background information of each platform hull construction methodology shall be presented to include but not be limited to: * Reinforced concrete (cast in situ or precast); * In-situ monolithic casting (slip form); * In-situ casting using precast elements (slab, honeycomb structure); * Pre-stressed concrete; * Post-tension concrete. Identification of the likely construction facilities that will be required: * Any specific quayside water-depths to ensure sufficient clearance of the build at various stages of construction and load-out; * Review use of assembly areas - precast assembly area for modular build and full assembly; * How precast elements could be used and limiting factors, considering transportation (road, ship etc.) and platform requirements for modular build; * Review cranage - evaluate maximum capacity of cranes required at various boom reach with an estimate of largest precast frame, module; Platform hull build methodology: The following main build concepts shall be investigated and reported: Construction build within a dry-dock: * Calculation of minimum number of platform hull elements (horizontal position) to determine required buoyancy to float-out the platform hull prior to flooding dock and tow platform hull to quayside to complete build and fit-out; * Associated costs with occupying dry-dock for duration of build; * Discuss opportunities of flooding dock, whilst building platform, evaluate consequences of disruption of build, wash down event etc. * Evaluate slip-forming methodology of constructing the platform in a vertical position in the dry-dock; * Evaluate methods on over-turning platform hull to its longitudinal position (if feasible); Floating barge construction: * Build platform on top of barge(s); * Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) of purchas Additional information: Note minor mendments to attachment and scope wording ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b814e64d-f3c2-4ff3-996c-4ef34f44e39e | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | 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 | 4 Feb 2019 | | Submission deadline | 8 Feb 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Mar 2019 - 30 Apr 2019 | | 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 | WAVE-TRICITY LTD | | Locality | PEMBROKE DOCK | | Post town | Swansea | | Postcode | SA72 6YH | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL4 Mid and South West Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL42 South West Wales | | Local authority | Pembrokeshire | | Electoral ward | Pembroke Dock: Market | | Westminster constituency | Mid and South Pembrokeshire | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71330000 - Miscellaneous engineering services ## Release History - 4 Feb 2019 at 09:40 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b814e64d-f3c2-4ff3-996c-4ef34f44e39e - 31 Jan 2019 at 08:55 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b814e64d-f3c2-4ff3-996c-4ef34f44e39e - 25 Jan 2019 at 15:54 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b814e64d-f3c2-4ff3-996c-4ef34f44e39e - 25 Jan 2019 at 14:30 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b814e64d-f3c2-4ff3-996c-4ef34f44e39e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b814e64d-f3c2-4ff3-996c-4ef34f44e39e 4th February 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/fccd124e-f4f4-4804-82a1-2456bbeda6e5 ITT - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2416832b-6a0f-49c3-838a-95c4b1d38eb6 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/d253706e-f44c-4cf7-8633-70c4be8a949f ## Notice URLs - http://wave-tricity.com ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
