The project involves replacing aged pontoon sections to accommodate recreational and commercial vessels, enhancing stability and capacity. The contract, classified under marine and harbour construction works, was initiated through an open procurement procedure. The contract period runs from 7th October 2022 to 31st May 2023. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in marine and construction sectors, particularly those experienced in marine infrastructure projects, to engage in the replacement of pontoon sections at Weymouth Harbour. The project requires expertise in marine construction and complying with safety standards for port operations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can leverage their capabilities to contribute to this essential infrastructure enhancement, facilitating business growth and industry development. ## Notice The existing pontoon sections installation occurred between 1993 and 2006, meaning that some of the sections are 30 years old. This project is a planned replacement of the infrastructure which is required to ensure business continuity of the Harbour with regard to accommodating visiting recreational and commercial vessels in line with the Open Port Duty: Statutory Harbour Authorities are under a common law duty to conserve and facilitate the safe use of the port. This includes a duty to ensure that those who may choose to navigate the port, may do so, without danger to their lives or property. Nearly all municipal ports are also subject to the 'Open Port Duty' to keep the harbour open, upon payment of rates, for the shipping and unshipping of goods and the embarking and landing of passengers. The initial particular requirements are as follows: * Fit for purpose pontoons that can withstand adverse conditions and up to 1m swells Requirement for pontoons to remain in position for 12 months of the year (currently 8 months). * Increased strength to accommodate vessels above 80t. * Improved stability of the pontoons to accommodate cruise ship tenders allowing up to 70 passengers access to a tender. * Assess/inspect existing gangways and their point of debarkation to pontoons as part of site survey/tender quote. * Pontoons to include new fixtures/fittings (electric with meters/lighting/cleats/safety ladders) and position/insulate all pontoon water supplies to comply with ISPG IBP document for Category 5 connections. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/afdd1b87-7278-47cb-8a66-c2eb889546f5 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Dec 2022 | | Submission deadline | 2 Aug 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 5 Oct 2022 | | Contract period | 6 Oct 2022 - 31 May 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £480,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £554,270 | | 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 | DORSET COUNCIL | | Locality | DORCHESTER | | Post town | Dorchester | | Postcode | DT1 1XJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK6 North Somerset, Somerset and Dorset | | ITL 3 | TLK64 Dorset | | Local authority | Dorset | | Electoral ward | Dorchester West | | Westminster constituency | West Dorset | | 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) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | INTERMARINE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45241000 - Harbour construction works - 45244000 - Marine construction works ## Release History - 5 Dec 2022 at 11:13 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/afdd1b87-7278-47cb-8a66-c2eb889546f5 - 1 Jul 2022 at 10:26 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e740fd56-753c-4159-86d5-b31fcf91a701 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/afdd1b87-7278-47cb-8a66-c2eb889546f5 5th December 2022 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e740fd56-753c-4159-86d5-b31fcf91a701 1st July 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=9a3b5f2a-ebf2-ec11-8115-005056b64545&p=696a9836-1895-e511-8105-000c29c9ba21 Link to advert ## Notice URLs - https://www.dorsetcouncil.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
