The procurement stage is complete, and the contract value is £64,529 GBP. The project falls under the industry categories of agricultural, farming, fishing, forestry, and construction works. The contract period is from 21st August 2023 to 21st February 2024, with the tender closing on 18th July 2023. The procurement method used was a selective procedure. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specializing in construction works and related products to engage in a project that aims to enhance access to the countryside and promote active, healthy lifestyles in the local community. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are well-suited for this opportunity. Businesses interested in infrastructure development projects that align with strategic local council initiatives will find this tender relevant for potential growth and business expansion. ## Notice As part of Chilmington Development Project Ashford Borough Council want to use the existing PROW network especially Public Bridleway AW244 area to improve resident access to the countryside, the local school and other areas of the development. The works will make the paths suitable for disabled users and fit in with the plans for making the woods and surrounding area accessible by bicycle as well. The requirement of this project is the creation of a surfaced bridleway leading from Ashford Road, Great Chart to Bucksford Lane, providing opportunities for people to use the bridleway to connect to the Great Chart village in one direction or get to Sevington Environmental Centre and our previous work in Coleman Kitchen Wood in the other direction. By doing this we hope to increase numbers into the local environment, increasing residents time spent outside promoting green/healthy and active lifestyles. The works align with Ashford Borough Councils strategic development for the Chilmington Development. The work expected to be carried out by the successful contractor would be the excavation of the existing ground to install a 2.5-metre-wide type 1 surfaced bridleway with timber edging. Due to the width available we will also be leaving a grass strip to the side of the path, so Equestrians Horse users have the option to use the surfaced route or the grass route. The contractor will also be required to replace a field gate on the path as the current field gate is redundant. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/916640bc-c796-4c50-aaa7-9afa5c432a4e | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Aug 2023 | | Submission deadline | 18 Jul 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 14 Aug 2023 | | Contract period | 20 Aug 2023 - 21 Feb 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £64,529 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £64,529 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | KENT COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | MAIDSTONE | | Post town | Rochester | | Postcode | ME14 1XQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ4 Kent | | ITL 3 | TLJ45 Mid Kent | | Local authority | Maidstone | | Electoral ward | Penenden Heath | | Westminster constituency | Maidstone and Malling | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | LAMB - LATORE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 03 - Agricultural, farming, fishing, forestry and related products - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 03000000 - Agricultural, farming, fishing, forestry and related products - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 24 Aug 2023 at 09:38 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/916640bc-c796-4c50-aaa7-9afa5c432a4e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/916640bc-c796-4c50-aaa7-9afa5c432a4e 24th August 2023 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.kent.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
