## Notice

Portsmouth City Council - the 'Council' - is inviting expressions of interest from experienced contractors for a contract to design and construct a new surface along the quay wall at Berth 2 in Portsmouth International Port (PIP), by modifying the existing level of the Berth and provide options to lengthen the quay. PIP's minimum requirement is for the level of the seaward end of Berth 2 to be reduced in height by 2.5m, meaning that the whole length of the Berth is at the same level. Additionally, PIP want to explore options to extend the quay in order to attract larger cruise liners. It is envisaged the Council will award the contract on the basis of a 2 stage open book procedure, using the following forms of contract for specific activity types: o Stage 1 Design - NEC 4 Professional Services Short Contract o Stage 2 Construction - NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract either on an Option A or C Award of the contract is scheduled for 25th June 2019 and is currently estimated between ?3M to ?4M, which is dependent on options to extend the quay wall and is inclusive of contractor design costs. Works may commence from the beginning of January 2020 and must be completed by 1st May 2020. However, the further extension works may be phased into different delivery packages if it is felt advantageous to do so.
