The procurement is in the award stage, with a contract value of £22,505. The original tender was published on 9th June 2021, with the tender period closing on 9th July 2021. Work is expected to commence on 31st August 2021 and conclude by 30th September 2021. This project falls under the category of "Erection of fencing" within the construction industry and follows an open procurement method designed for small contracts below threshold. This tender represents an excellent opportunity for local contractors, particularly those specialising in fencing or similar outdoor works, to expand their business within the community. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to apply, given the project's nature and the Council's stated suitability requirements. Contractors with experience in wildlife-resistant fencing will find this project well-suited to their capabilities, as the new installation must effectively protect against deer, badgers, and rabbits. ## Notice Crowborough Town Council manages and maintains three allotment sites within the town. The largest of these is Owlsbury allotment site which opened to its first tenants in 2009 and has over 300 plots. This allotment site is located within a rural valley outside of the town boundary. Due to its location, it is susceptible to wildlife and is protected by a perimeter fence. The existing fence is coming to the end of its life and Crowborough Town Council is seeking the best option for the removal of the existing fence and the installation of a suitable replacement perimeter fence to protect the allotment site. The new fence must be able to withstand advances from differing types of wildlife - specifically deer, badgers and rabbits. Crowborough Town Council intends to enter into a contract with a suitably qualified and experienced contractor to undertake this project. Details of how to apply for this contract can be found in the council's Invitation to Tender document. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/95174274-7a45-41ba-92a7-c4761f59c6f8 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Aug 2021 | | Submission deadline | 9 Jul 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 19 Jul 2021 | | Contract period | 30 Aug 2021 - 30 Sep 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £25,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £22,505 | | 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 | CROWBOROUGH TOWN COUNCIL | | Locality | CROWBOROUGH | | Post town | Tonbridge | | Postcode | TN6 1DH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ2 Surrey, East and West Sussex | | ITL 3 | TLJ22 East Sussex CC | | Local authority | Wealden | | Electoral ward | Crowborough Central | | Westminster constituency | Sussex Weald | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | RICHARDS FENCING | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45342000 - Erection of fencing ## Release History - 16 Aug 2021 at 14:02 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/95174274-7a45-41ba-92a7-c4761f59c6f8 - 15 Jun 2021 at 08:14 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a14b58a5-32fc-42e5-8f25-dedb3571ed6e - 9 Jun 2021 at 08:46 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a14b58a5-32fc-42e5-8f25-dedb3571ed6e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/95174274-7a45-41ba-92a7-c4761f59c6f8 16th August 2021 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a14b58a5-32fc-42e5-8f25-dedb3571ed6e 15th June 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/169f20d0-3f09-4956-a074-01d1ccca4734 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/9d798be2-d553-4ada-9dec-4ec7d4704019 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7f3493f2-80df-47e6-be9b-40eb2c39540f - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/247df343-8cd8-431c-8281-e232d1538af3 ## Notice URLs - http://www.crowboroughtowncouncil.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
