The study aims to enhance road safety and minimise the disruption of active travel routes caused by traffic. Specific locations include three sites west of Lyndhurst village and a fourth site along the Old Railway (C10) known as the 'Holmsley Straight Mile.' The procurement process is currently in the tender amendment stage and operates under an open procedure. Key dates include the tender submission deadline on 16th December 2024, with the contract set to commence on 30th December 2024 and conclude on 30th March 2025. This tender provides significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in civil engineering support, transport systems, highways consultancy, infrastructure works, and safety consultancy services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to apply, given the suitability criteria. Successful consultancy firms will have the chance to engage and influence local infrastructure development by proposing innovative and effective solutions through a detailed and consultative feasibility study. The contract's value is estimated between £5,000 and £30,000, making it a lucrative opportunity for businesses to showcase their expertise and expand their portfolio within the public sector. ## Notice The New Forest National Park Authority (NFNPA or 'the Authority'), in partnership with Hampshire County Council (HCC), together known as 'the partners' is seeking a consultant / consultancy to prepare an Active Travel feasibility Study for new crossings on the A35 in the New Forest National Park, Hampshire. The purpose of the feasibility study is to identify options to improve road safety and reduce severance of active travel routes caused by traffic movements on the A35 road through the New Forest. The study will need to look at the provision of new walking and cycling (and where appropriate equestrian) crossing facilities at three sites on the A35 west of the village of Lyndhurst, within the County of Hampshire. The study will also need to consider a fourth site where conditions for cyclists need to be improved and road danger reduced, the section of road is called Old Railway (C10), known locally as the 'Holmsley Straight Mile' between the Old Station Tea Rooms and Brockenhurst Road. The roads and site locations referenced here are identified in maps further within this document. Hampshire County Council is the Highway Authority for all the roads identified above. The recommended design options will need to be in accordance with their policies and guidance documents and engagement with their officers will be essential. The study will need to identify appropriate interventions, consider all relevant constraints and risks, then recommend preferred options with concept designs and realistic costings. The final study should be completed by 30th March 2025, unless the partners agree to an extension. Regular updates including a written monthly progress report will be provided to the partners throughout the study period. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fa5beacf-3944-4d56-b2a0-68d076b4f80c | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Dec 2024 | | Submission deadline | 16 Dec 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Dec 2024 - 30 Mar 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £30,000 | | 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 | NEW FOREST NATIONAL PARK AUTHORITY | | Locality | LYMINGTON | | Post town | Southampton | | Postcode | SO41 9ZG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ3 Hampshire and Isle of Wight | | ITL 3 | TLJ36 Central Hampshire | | Local authority | New Forest | | Electoral ward | Lymington | | Westminster constituency | New Forest West | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 71311100 - Civil engineering support services - 71311200 - Transport systems consultancy services - 71311210 - Highways consultancy services - 71311220 - Highways engineering services - 71311300 - Infrastructure works consultancy services - 79417000 - Safety consultancy services ## Release History - 6 Dec 2024 at 10:57 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fa5beacf-3944-4d56-b2a0-68d076b4f80c - 20 Nov 2024 at 11:34 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fa5beacf-3944-4d56-b2a0-68d076b4f80c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fa5beacf-3944-4d56-b2a0-68d076b4f80c 6th December 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/726feb62-79c6-414f-8986-3914a609606c - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b196533c-b306-4931-afe5-94c98edecfdd - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/08ce3181-0110-49e9-8561-9b59a8d25cdd ## Notice URLs - https://www.newforestnpa.gov.uk/about-us/procurement/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
