## Summary

Bedford Borough Council has completed the tender process for the "Mill Meadows Landing Platform" contract, located in Bedford, England. The procurement falls under the works category, focusing on repair and maintenance services, with a contract value of £40,600. The open tender process was initiated to address the disrepair of a landing platform on the River Great Ouse, primarily caused by bank erosion and degradation of its timber elements. The contract will be active from 1st July 2017 to 30th June 2018, following a tender period that ended on 23rd June 2017.

This contract presents significant opportunities for construction and maintenance businesses, particularly those experienced in structural repairs and restoration projects. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as suitable contractors with expertise in similar works can bring valuable skills to the restoration or potential demolition of the landing platform. Companies that can demonstrate effective project execution and cost-efficient bidding are well-positioned to compete for such projects.

## Notice

A landing platform built on the River Great Ouse in Bedford has fallen into disrepair. Due to bank erosion the rear side of the platform has partially collapsed. The structure is a timber clad platform constructed on a steel channel beam supported by steel columns driven into the riverbed. The land side section of the platform was supported by timber stakes driven into the bank before erosion under the stakes destabilised the structure. The timber elements of the platform are aged and would benefit from replacement. The council is looking to either restore the landing platform or demolish and remove the platform completely. The choice of option depends upon tendered costs of both.
