## Summary

The South Tyneside Council is currently involved in a contract for civil engineering enabling works at Holborn, South Shields, which includes extensive maritime and geotechnical elements. This project encompasses a 9-hectare site predominantly composed of vacant brownfield land, located in the North East of England. The procurement process is in the Award stage, with works expected to commence on 1st September 2021 and run until 30th June 2023. This substantial project, valued at £20 million, involves a restricted selective procurement method, ensuring that only qualified suppliers can participate. The tender period concluded on 29th March 2021.

This civil engineering contract provides notable opportunities for businesses, especially those specialising in construction and engineering services. Companies that can navigate complex site conditions, such as derelict structures and significant flood risk, will be particularly suited to compete. Such projects contribute to the South Shields Riverside Regeneration area, offering potential for future mixed-use development, which may lead to further contracts and growth opportunities for successful bidders in the region.

## Notice

The c. 9 hectare Holborn site is located in South Tyneside on the River Tyne, to the south west of South Shields town centre and is part of the South Shields Riverside Regeneration area. It is a largely derelict former industrial area with vacant brownfield land predominantly in South Tyneside Council ownership. The existing site contains potential constraints associated with historical land uses which could impact on future development. These include, but are not limited to, the following: * Derelict riverside quay structures * Buried quayside infrastructure (old river walls, crane foundations etc.) * Extensive Functional Flood Zone - land to be raised to a level to allow reclassification with reduced flood risk * Sub-surface obstructions (shallow and deep / piled structures) and buried chambers * Ground contamination * Old retaining walls * Surface hard standings * Underground services * Significant variation in ground profiles and elevations across the site To address these issues and ameliorate risk to future development, South Tyneside Council intend to implement a programme of Site Enabling Works where the site is regraded to an approximate 1:30 slope, unserviced and ready for follow-on mixed-use development incorporating residential dwellings and new offices. Works are anticipated to commence in September 2021 and last 18-21 months.
