This initiative aims to replace an existing narrow bridge, enhancing accessibility between the Railway Station and the Town Centre. The procurement is at the tender stage, with key dates including the deadline for submissions on 18th July 2017, and the contract period spanning from 19th April 2018 to 5th September 2019. This procurement falls under the works category, with an estimated value of £3,000,000. This opportunity presents significant business growth potential, particularly for companies in construction, engineering design, architectural services, and project management. Firms with experience in bridge construction and civil engineering will be well-suited to participate, as the project will likely involve complex design and engineering requirements. With a minimum value set at £1,500,000, successful bidders can expect a substantial contract that could lead to future collaborations in similar infrastructure projects. ## Notice Introduction 1.1.1 Guildford Borough Council, in partnership with Surrey County Council and the M3 Local Enterprise Partnership wishes to replace Walnut Bridge in the centre of Guildford. The existing bridge is narrow and has a western entrance that is hidden within an existing building, so that only those with local knowledge know of the bridge's presence. A new bridge structure will also act as a catalyst for the regeneration of the Bedford Wharf site. This pedestrian and cycle bridge forms a vital link between the Railway Station and the Town Centre. 1.1.2 The bridge forms a key component of the Guildford Town Centre Transport Package, with the remaining funding work stream from the M3 LEP secured in March 2016. Please review appendices to this document for further background to the bridge, including rationale, its fit with the overall package submission and funding mechanism. 1.1.3 Guildford Borough Council is the contracting authority. 1.1.4 The OJEU Notice was published in the Official Journal of the European Union in May 2017 seeking expressions of interest from organisations wishing to participate in the Project. 1.1.5 The Council is carrying out this procurement using the Competitive Dialogue Procedure under European Directive 2014/24/EU as implemented in the UK by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (Statutory Instrument Number 102, 2015) 1.1.6 The Council conducted a pre-qualification (PQQ) exercise to identify suitable bidders to participate in this procurement. 3 such Bidders are now invited to participate in the Competitive Dialogue Procedure with the Council (The Bidders). Note: the document pack, issued to interested parties, around the time of publication of the OJEU notice includes both the PQQ and the subsequent ITPD document set.
