This procurement, classified under "Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation" and "Construction work," aims to address the growing need for secure and accessible cycle parking due to the location's proximity to key facilities. The procurement method is an open procedure (below threshold), and the tender period ends on 11th April 2025. With an estimated contract period from 1st May 2025 to 1st August 2025, businesses have a limited window to submit their proposals for this significant urban enhancement initiative. This tender offers substantial opportunities for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in construction, transport infrastructure, and urban development. Given the detailed requirements for security, accessibility improvements, and the removal and installation of cycle stands, it is particularly suited for businesses with experience in civil engineering and public infrastructure projects. Successful bidders will gain exposure and experience working with a prominent municipal body, aiding in business growth through high-visibility projects and potential future opportunities with local councils. ## Notice Cambridge City Council (CCC) is enhancing the public cycle parking at the Queen Anne Terrace (QAT) multi-story car park on Gonville Place in central Cambridge. The cycle parking at QAT addresses a strong local need due to its proximity to key facilities, including businesses, leisure and shopping areas, hospitality venues, green open spaces, and other amenities. Recreational and sports facilities are also available on site. The proposed improvements include additional cycle parking spaces and enhancements to safety, security, and accessibility. There are two cycle parking areas at QAT: one inside the car park building and the other outside, which is not covered. Both are at street level. There is a demand for safe, secure, and accessible short-term and long-term cycle parking. In the undercover cycle parking area, CCC plans to remove all existing cycle stands and ground anchors, adjust fence lines, and screed the floor before installing new cycle stands in a 'toast-rack' setup (consisting of two or more cycle stands securely attached to horizontal steel sections), cargo cycle parking bays with new ground anchors, and signage. An access-controlled area is also proposed, which will require a swing gate fitted with mag locks. For the external cycle parking area, CCC proposes to remove all existing vegetation, including a semi-mature tree, and all existing cycle stands and concrete hardstanding. The area will then be excavated to install an engineered tree pit with a hardstanding area above, and new root-fixed cycle stands (each stand leg embedded into a concrete foundation). New trees will be planted after the works are complete. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6c7b35db-a2f7-4b5c-994b-1518a652103e | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | 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 | 21 Mar 2025 | | Submission deadline | 11 Apr 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Apr 2025 - 1 Aug 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1 | | 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 | CAMBRIDGE CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | CAMBRIDGE | | Post town | Cambridge | | Postcode | CB2 3QJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH42 Cambridgeshire CC | | Local authority | Cambridge | | Electoral ward | Market | | Westminster constituency | Cambridge | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 34000000 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 21 Mar 2025 at 14:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6c7b35db-a2f7-4b5c-994b-1518a652103e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6c7b35db-a2f7-4b5c-994b-1518a652103e 21st March 2025 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=4659e5bb-6206-f011-8136-005056b64545 Advert ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
