## Summary

The procurement process for the site clearance at Morston Drift in King's Lynn is coordinated by Kings Lynn & West Norfolk Borough Council. This tender, which falls under the classification of excavating and earthmoving work, has been valued between £300,000 and £500,000. The tender was published on 12 March 2018 and the submission deadline was on 10 April 2018. The contract period commenced on 14 May 2018 and is set to end on 13 July 2018. The procurement method was an open procedure, which allows broad participation.

This opportunity presents significant potential for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in excavation and earthmoving services. Companies capable of managing site clearance and having experience in handling similar contracts would be well-suited to compete. The clear need for skilled contractors to undertake the supervised site works offers a chance for businesses to establish or enhance their presence in the public sector contracting landscape.

## Notice

The 2.5 Ha site is former industrial land scheduled for housing development. The contract involves the clearance of surface stockpiles of construction debris from nearby developments and the excavation of concrete slabs and foundations up to 300mm thick with localised areas over 1m thick. Apart from any wood, plastic, steel or other unsuitable material all arisings are to be retained on site. An adjacent site is available for stockpiling and crushing of material for re-use. After the excavation of all obstacles the site is to be backfilled with screened spoil from within the site and compacted to the intended development level. The site is divided into 12 zones and works are to be undertaken under the supervision of Council consultants, whose role will be to accurately record which zones material is moved from and where it is finally deposited.
