This contract, valued at £7,415,836.96, falls under the construction industry category and is located in Fingringhoe, near Colchester, South East England. The procurement was conducted as a selective process, under a restricted procedure due to its high value. The contract period commenced on 25th February 2022 and will continue until 31st March 2023. The tender period closed on 15th July 2021, with the award announced on 27th March 2022. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly in construction and project management, to gain experience in large-scale governmental projects. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, especially those focused on construction works with expertise in developing training facilities and ensuring compliance with military standards. As the project aims to deliver state-of-the-art training areas, firms proficient in energy-efficient designs and those with a strong track record in managing large construction projects will be well-suited to compete for similar future contracts. ## Notice Fingringhoe and Middlewick Range facilities provide live fire capability and training support for over 3,500 personnel in 16 Air Assault Brigade and Units in the wider South East area. Middlewick Range is situated on the outskirts of Colchester, postcode C05 7LX, and has been announced for disposal. To enable this disposal the capability will be transferred to Fingringhoe, with the site due for development in 21/22. The additional live firing training capacity, that will be created by the supplementary range facilities at Fingringhoe, is an enduring requirement for the MOD. The aim of the Project is to provide two additional firing ranges and supporting facilities at the Fingringhoe Range Complex to allow for the closure, and subsequent disposal, of 85 hectares at Middlewick Range. The objectives of the Project are to: a. Provide adequate range facilities to support use of the ranges, scaled for the number of personnel. The facility must support 2 x 30 personnel troops, workshop and store, toilets and vehicle parking and be Technical Advisory Section (TAS) compliant. The existing track is to be widened and resurfaced. Utilities shall be required. b. Ensure that, outside of agreed periods, disruption to the operation of Fingringhoe Ranges is kept to a minimum during the construction period. c. Ensure that the works are designed, constructed, commissioned and maintained to the appropriate standards and regulations during the construction and subsequent defects phase. d. Optimise Through-Life Costs. e. Link the Project and its delivery to the End Users' operational outputs. f. The design of all engineering service systems shall be energy efficient and emphasise simplicity of layout and control. They shall include standard, tried and tested components to achieve a design life of 15 years' subject to planned maintenance and replacement required. g. Ensure that new facilities have a minimum structural design life of 60 years, and free from major maintenance for 25 years ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8c355aca-f61b-48f5-81d7-a4e9f34817c7 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Mar 2022 | | Submission deadline | 15 Jul 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 25 Feb 2022 | | Contract period | 25 Feb 2022 - 31 Mar 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £7,415,836 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £7,415,836 | | 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 | DIO COMMERCIAL | | Locality | GLASGOW | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G2 8EX | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM32 Glasgow City | | Local authority | Glasgow City | | Electoral ward | Anderston/City/Yorkhill | | Westminster constituency | Glasgow North | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | TILBURY DOUGLAS CONSTRUCTION | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 27 Mar 2022 at 22:32 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8c355aca-f61b-48f5-81d7-a4e9f34817c7 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8c355aca-f61b-48f5-81d7-a4e9f34817c7 27th March 2022 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
