This tender falls under the industry category of architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services (CPV code 71000000). The project involves creating design concepts and cost plans for developing a car park, with an engagement end date scheduled for 21 October 2024. The initial stage focuses on early market engagement, as indicated by the milestone document published on 14 October 2024. The tender location is in Luton, England, and the expected contract value is £65,000 GBP. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses with strong Quantity Surveyor and/or Cost Consultant capabilities, especially those skilled in architectural and construction services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly suitable to compete, considering the tender's value and requirements. Businesses specialising in future demand modelling and revenue forecasting for parking facilities will find this opportunity particularly relevant. Participating in the "Meet the Buyer" event on 21 October 2024 provides a platform for businesses to engage directly with Luton Council and gain deeper insights into the project. ## Notice MEET THE BUYER MEETING This tender will suit a cross functional organisation with strong Quantity Surveyor and/or Cost Consultant capability. The core deliverable being sought is a set of three outline design concepts and their associated cost plans. We are not expecting designs that fit with any of RIBA's Plan of Works stages, but we are expecting costs that we can rely on to make an investment decision. The design options will be worked on in conjunction with Luton Borough Council but will include different configurations of the site, for instance to densify the parking capacity or to open up the accessway. Additionally, we are interested in hearing from organisations about how they can support two additional extension pieces of work. 1. Modelling that can be provided to understand how many car and sustainable parking spaces the town centre will need. This will require an organisation that can model future parking demand. This modelling will then be used to inform the design. 2. Carrying out revenue forecasting for the new facility based on either the above modelling or based on modelling that Luton BC provides the consultant. If you would like to attend the Meet the Buyer to hear more about the opportunity on Monday 21 October 2024 @ 4pm please email Caroline.sturman@luton.gov.uk before 12 noon on Monday 21 October 2024 and you will be sent a Teams invite. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2ace97f0-1987-4a23-b5d8-e372cd438362 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Oct 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 21 Oct 2024 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £65,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LUTON COUNCIL | | Locality | LUTON | | Post town | Luton | | Postcode | LU1 2BQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH2 Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLH21 Luton | | Local authority | Luton | | Electoral ward | Central | | Westminster constituency | Luton South and South Bedfordshire | | 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 - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71000000 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ## Release History - 14 Oct 2024 at 11:45 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2ace97f0-1987-4a23-b5d8-e372cd438362 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2ace97f0-1987-4a23-b5d8-e372cd438362 14th October 2024 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=fa8b4778-208a-ef11-8130-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.luton.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
