This project falls within the construction work category and is located in the South East region of the United Kingdom, specifically at Fingringhoe, near Colchester. The procurement is currently in the tender stage, with submissions due by 8 April 2021. The total value of the contract is approximately £16.1 million, and the construction is scheduled to commence on 1 October 2021 and conclude by 31 October 2022. This tender follows a restricted procurement procedure under DSPCR 2011. This procurement presents substantial opportunities for construction and engineering firms, particularly those that specialise in military or training facility projects. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, offering a chance for growth through public sector contracts. Contractors with experience in developing live-fire training facilities, managing large-scale construction projects, and ensuring compliance with technical and operational standards would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. ## Notice Fingringhoe and Middlewick Range facilities provide live fire capability and training support for over 3,500 personnel in 16 Air Assault Brigade and Units in the wider South East area. Middlewick Range is situated on the outskirts of Colchester, postcode C05 7LX, and has been announced for disposal. To enable this disposal the capability will be transferred to Fingringhoe, with the site due for development in 21/22. The additional live firing training capacity, that will be created by the supplementary range facilities at Fingringhoe, is an enduring requirement for the MOD. The aim of the Project is to provide two additional firing ranges and supporting facilities at the Fingringhoe Range Complex to allow for the closure, and subsequent disposal, of 85 hectares at Middlewick Range. The objectives of the Project are to: a. Provide adequate range facilities to support use of the ranges, scaled for the number of personnel. The facility must support 2 x 30 personnel troops, workshop and store, toilets and vehicle parking and be Technical Advisory Section (TAS) compliant. The existing track is to be widened and resurfaced. Utilities shall be required. b. Ensure that, outside of agreed periods, disruption to the operation of Fingringhoe Ranges is kept to a minimum during the construction period. c. Ensure that the works are designed, constructed, commissioned and maintained to the appropriate standards and regulations during the construction and subsequent defects phase. d. Optimise Through-Life Costs. e. Link the Project and its delivery to the End Users' operational outputs. f. The design of all engineering service systems shall be energy efficient and emphasise simplicity of layout and control. They shall include standard, tried and tested components to achieve a design life of 15 years' subject to planned maintenance and replacement required. g. Ensure that new facilities have a minimum structural design life of 60 years, and free from major maintenance for 25 years. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0ee7f100-5aff-4769-a9d4-92e80527a0ea | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - Restricted Procedure under DSPCR 2011 | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 Mar 2021 | | Submission deadline | 8 Apr 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Sep 2021 - 31 Oct 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £16,100,000 | | 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 | MINISTRY OF DEFENCE | | Locality | GLASGOW | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G2 8EX | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM32 Glasgow City | | Local authority | Glasgow City | | Electoral ward | Anderston/City/Yorkhill | | Westminster constituency | Glasgow North | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 9 Mar 2021 at 18:21 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0ee7f100-5aff-4769-a9d4-92e80527a0ea ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0ee7f100-5aff-4769-a9d4-92e80527a0ea 9th March 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.contracts.mod.uk/go/84083953017818374866 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
