## Summary

Cambridge City Council has recently awarded a contract for the resurfacing of the car park and footpaths at Byron's Pool Local Nature Reserve. This project falls under the construction category, specifically focusing on car park building and footpath construction work, and is located in Cambridge, England. The procurement process utilised was an open procedure, with the tender period ending on 18 October 2021. The contract is set to commence on 1 September 2022 and will last until 1 December 2022, with an awarded contract value of £127,465.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in construction and landscaping, particularly those capable of undertaking resurfacing and footpath enhancement work. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate. Companies with expertise in durable surface solutions and outdoor construction are well-suited to compete for this contract, which not only addresses immediate infrastructure needs but also enhances public access to a cherished natural environment.

## Notice

Byron's Pool LNR is owned and managed by Cambridge City Council as a popular Local Nature Reserve. There is a small car park on site accessed via Granchester Road from Trumpington. The current carpark is a permeable, unmetalled surface on a subbase, but is suffering from the formation of regular potholes. We request quotes to regrade and surface with Breedon gravel or equivalent within the existing car park footprint, to ensure a level, durable, semi permeable parking solution. Currently there are no disabled bays marked, we would request the marking by suitable means of two bays for this purpose close to the entrance to the Byron's Pool woodland entrance and adjacent Trumpington Country Park (managed by the Wildlife Trust) The new surfacing needs to tie in level with existing site footpaths and retain set height beneath entrance height barrier. In addition to these works the council is also seeking a top dressing of existing Breedon gravel pedestrian routes within the site and upgrade to the access and approach to existing recycled plastic fishing platforms and canoe launch points. There is a fish pass on the reserve in the form of a natural bypass channel around the Byron's Pool weir. The Council are in the process of contracting enhancement works to this feature in summer 2022 and it is envisaged that the carpark and paths work will be implemented upon completion to avoid disturbance to the new surfaces by plant movement.
