This project falls within the consultative engineering and construction services industry and is located in Solihull, West Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement process is at the tender stage, with submissions due by 9th April 2018. The project budget ranges from £20,000 to £40,000, with additional funding provided by the European Regional Development Fund. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for engineering and consultancy firms specialising in civil and environmental engineering, particularly those with experience in hydrology and habitat restoration. Companies that can demonstrate a collaborative approach to working with structural engineers and landscape architects, as well as those that offer innovative solutions for water management and ecological enhancement, will be well-positioned to compete effectively for this contract. ## Notice Meriden Lake is shallow artificial lake located in Chelmsley Wood Local Nature Reserve. It was created for its landscape and amenity value by installing a weir across the Kingshurst brook. A viaduct was constructed on top of the weir to support a public footpath across the lake. In recent years the lake has become problematic as silt accumulations have resulted in stagnation and large volumes of complaints from the general public regarding foul odours and safety concerns. The lake was de-silted in 2003 but is already in need of further intervention. However, due to the significant costs involved and regularity of these works this is not a sustainable option. The proposed scheme is to alter the weir to drain the lake and create a mosaic of habitats including a new natural river channel, marsh, pools, wet meadows, woodlands and reed beds. New boardwalks, footpaths and interpretation will facilitate public access to these wildlife areas. We expect the appointed consultants to provide a feasibility report and hydrological model for the weir modifications and liaise closely with their in-house structural engineers who will design and oversee the implementation of the weir modifications. We also expect the consultancy to liaise with the SMBC Landscape Architect, Ecologist, and drainage Engineer to develop a team approach to providing a holistic, integrated habitat enhancement to the lake environment These works are part funded by the European Regional Development Fund Additional information: Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d05f58f6-c08e-4f92-89ef-02f1f2cf52ce | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Mar 2018 | | Submission deadline | 9 Apr 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 29 May 2018 - 30 Nov 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £40,000 | | 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 | COVENTRY - SOLIHULL - WARWICKSHIRE | | Locality | SOLIHULL | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B91 3QB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG32 Solihull | | Local authority | Solihull | | Electoral ward | St Alphege | | Westminster constituency | Solihull West and Shirley | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 71300000 - Engineering services - 71310000 - Consultative engineering and construction services - 71311000 - Civil engineering consultancy services - 71313000 - Environmental engineering consultancy services - 71318000 - Advisory and consultative engineering services - 71351210 - Geophysical consultancy services - 71351220 - Geological consultancy services - 71530000 - Construction consultancy services - 71800000 - Consulting services for water-supply and waste consultancy - 90713000 - Environmental issues consultancy services - 90713100 - Consulting services for water-supply and waste-water other than for construction ## Release History - 19 Mar 2018 at 16:15 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d05f58f6-c08e-4f92-89ef-02f1f2cf52ce ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d05f58f6-c08e-4f92-89ef-02f1f2cf52ce 19th March 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/csw-jets/aspx/ Additional information on how to apply for this contract ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
