This eco-hide aims to provide a space for school children and visitors to observe wildlife while being minimally intrusive. The tender period is active and concludes on 12th March 2021, with the contract expected to run from 29th March to 22nd July 2021. The total value of the project is £60,000, and the procurement method is classified as 'Other'. The hide is to be situated in a woodland clearing in the United Kingdom and should utilise sustainable materials. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in construction, especially those with expertise in sustainable building practices and eco-friendly design. Companies that specialise in materials with minimal environmental impact or those capable of creating multifunctional and adaptable spaces are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, leveraging their innovative approaches to construction and design to meet the unique requirements of this project. ## Notice The build of a eco-hide that enables school children and visitors to observe them in their natural habitat without being disturbed. The hide can be of timber, cob or similar construction, using materials that are sustainable and have a minimal environmental impact. Given the hide will be located in a woodland clearing we would want it to blend into its surroundings with preferably a living roof. Internally we want enough space for two school classes (50 people) and that when inside the space feels like your immersed in the nature. The space must however must be multifunctional and adaptable, suitable for wildlife watching, meetings, and events with enough space for some interpretation. Under permitted development we can make this structure up to 4m high with a volume that doesn't exceed 200m3, it should be heated by a wood burner and have a sufficient solar PV system to power mains electrical items. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6e992996-fe35-46d4-b0c2-7840f3f59466 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Mar 2021 | | Submission deadline | 12 Mar 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 28 Mar 2021 - 22 Jul 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £60,000 | | 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 | PLYMOUTH CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | PLYMOUTH | | Post town | Plymouth | | Postcode | PL1 3BJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK4 Devon | | ITL 3 | TLK41 Plymouth | | Local authority | Plymouth | | Electoral ward | St Peter and the Waterfront | | Westminster constituency | Plymouth Sutton and Devonport | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 37 - Musical instruments, sport goods, games, toys, handicraft, art materials and accessories - 43 - Machinery for mining, quarrying, construction equipment - 45 - Construction work - 50 - Repair and maintenance services - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 37535200 - Playground equipment - 43000000 - Machinery for mining, quarrying, construction equipment - 45100000 - Site preparation work - 50000000 - Repair and maintenance services - 92000000 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ## Release History - 8 Mar 2021 at 14:48 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6e992996-fe35-46d4-b0c2-7840f3f59466 - 8 Mar 2021 at 14:39 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e7c08e28-7dc7-4b52-9c9d-b3d9ecefb575 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6e992996-fe35-46d4-b0c2-7840f3f59466 8th March 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e7c08e28-7dc7-4b52-9c9d-b3d9ecefb575 8th March 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.plymouth.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
