## Summary

Penzance Dry Dock (2009) Limited is undertaking a substantial refit project aimed at revitalising the Penzance Dry Dock, the oldest operational dry dock of its kind in Europe. This significant project, focusing on structural groundworks and site modifications, falls within the construction industry category, involving concrete, piling, and various construction works. Located in Penzance, Cornwall (postcode TR18 4BW), the project is in the award stage and was published on 22 October 2024. The tender period ended on 8 November 2024, and the contract period spans from 22 November 2024 to 14 February 2025, with the completion targeted by March 2025. The procurement method used was an open procedure with a contract value initially estimated at £250,000 GBP but the awarded contract is valued at £722,544.56 GBP.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for construction companies, particularly SMEs, to engage in a high-visibility project that could enhance their portfolio and industry standing. With the revitalisation of Penzance Dry Dock expanding its capabilities to include ship repair, shipbuilding, mass fabrication, and training, it provides vast avenues for long-term business growth and collaboration in both local and national markets. Businesses specializing in construction works, concrete structures, and piling operations are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, benefiting from potential government partnerships and funding through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

## Notice

Penzance Dry Dock (PDD) is famously steeped in history, currently being the oldest operational dry dock of its type in Europe but requires drastic investment after decades of neglect and dilapidations. While the surrounding shipyards, across the county and country have seen investment, PDD has slipped through the net time and time again. PDD plans to complete a large refit by March 2025. PDD will become the engineering powerhouse that it once was, but with more abilities than ever before. This facility has primally been ship repair only, but now we are supporting multiple areas of the market, ship repair, ship building, mass fabrication and most importantly training and skill development. This capital investment, part-funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, will see the site brought up to an even playing field with the rest of industry, with new, safer lifting systems and the dilapidations being rectified. We will see our efficiency drastically increased which in turn will assist in reducing our carbon footprint. We are seeking a supplier to complete the structural groundworks and site modifications as detailed in the specification and supporting documents.
