This project aims to enhance the public realm and includes a comprehensive maintenance program. The tender period concludes on 18 January 2019, while the contract is expected to commence on 4 February 2019 and last until 31 May 2019. Classified under the CPV code for construction materials, this procurement is being executed as a direct method, specifically a single tender action due to its value being below the threshold. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in construction, restoration, and related services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can demonstrate expertise in local authority projects. Companies well-versed in heritage restoration and sustainable maintenance solutions will find this project aligns with their offerings. Participating in this tender could not only enhance their portfolio but also foster long-term relationships with local government clients, thereby contributing to sustainable business growth in the region. ## Notice The Bacup Townscape Heritage Initiative is a 5 year PS2.2 million regeneration project that has seen extensive restoration work to selected town centre buildings, public realm enhancements and numerous community engagement and training initiatives. Part of this work has seen much discussion around the future of a former water fountain which has in more recent times been planted with flowers. A stakeholder consultation has taken place with LCC who are the highways authority and are responsible for any development that affects the road system. LCC have confirmed to us that a working water feature is not acceptable in this location due to the close proximity to the road way. Taking on board LCC recommendations, the Bacup THI partnership board unanimously agreed a sympathetic restoration proposal which has been specified by our heritage architect. The lighting has been designed to adhere to highways guidance and also to guidance from the Bacup Conservation Appraisal. The proposals also will include a suitable maintenance programme. The aim of the project is to restore and make good the existing fountain plinth/feature, to install adequate draining to prevent water pooling, to excavate and reset the surrounding setts and to refurbish the existing lights and install new lighting in accordance with highway regulations and conservation area restrictions. A long term sustainable maintenance plan also needs to be produced. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8c42cdd3-2e51-461c-83b2-e6902727ddbb | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | Single tender action (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Dec 2018 | | Submission deadline | 18 Jan 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 4 Feb 2019 - 31 May 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | ROSSENDALE BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | BACUP | | Post town | Oldham | | Postcode | OL13 0BB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD4 Lancashire | | ITL 3 | TLD46 East Lancashire | | Local authority | Rossendale | | Electoral ward | Britannia & Lee Mill | | Westminster constituency | Rossendale and Darwen | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 44000000 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) - 45100000 - Site preparation work ## Release History - 18 Dec 2018 at 15:20 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8c42cdd3-2e51-461c-83b2-e6902727ddbb ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8c42cdd3-2e51-461c-83b2-e6902727ddbb 18th December 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.rossendale.gov.uk/info/210170/business/10745/working_with_the_council/3 Invitation to tender for the installation of a lighting scheme, repairs and cosmetic restoration of the former fountain, St James Square, Bacup together with a long term sustainable maintenance programme. ## Notice URLs - https://www.rossendale.gov.uk/downloads/download/11135/invitation_to_tender_for_the_installation_of_a_lighting_scheme_repairs_and_cosmetic_restoration_of_the_former_fountain_st_james_square_bacup_together_with_a_long_term_sustainable_maintenance_programme ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
