This initiative aims to engage the market in designing, manufacturing, supplying, installing, and maintaining new bespoke bus shelters as part of a significant regeneration scheme in Swindon town centre. Interested parties should submit their responses to the soft market testing by 11th August 2021 at 14:00 UK local time, with clarifications due by 4th August 2021. The procurement process follows an open tender method, categorised under bus shelters and related construction work. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses in areas such as construction, design, and urban infrastructure. Companies capable of delivering innovative solutions for bus shelter design and construction would find this an advantageous project to engage with. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can showcase their expertise in public space developments are particularly encouraged to participate in the soft market testing, thereby positioning themselves for future procurement opportunities as the council finalises the project specification. ## Notice Swindon Borough Council is seeking input from the market for the design, manufacture, supply, installation and maintenance of new bespoke bus shelters which will form a key part of a high profile regeneration scheme in the heart of Swindon town centre. This market assessment is not part of the procurement process, but is purely investigative in nature, to potentially assist the Council in defining a specification and contract for the project. The same information will be gathered from all providers who wish to participate in the Soft Market testing to assist the Council. Participants are invited to respond to the attached 'Bus shelters - soft market testing questions and response document' in writing, along with providing details of their organisation. No workshops are being held as part of this soft market testing exercise. Soft Market Testing Responses are required to be submitted no later than 11th August 2021, 14:00:00 hrs UK local time via messaging on the ProContract tender portal, www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk including the project name and DN reference in the subject title. For the avoidance of doubt, no information provided in response to this questionnaire will be used by the Council in assessing providers during any future procurement process, scheduled to commence later in 2021. If you require any clarifications on the soft market testing documents please submit these in writing via messaging on the ProContract tender portal, including the project name and DN reference in the subject title by 4th August 2021, 14:00:00 hrs UK local time. Please note that this project has been advertised on Contracts Finder, however, 'Supplying the South West Portal' is the only portal that includes all the relevant documents required to respond to this soft market testing exercise. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6df1c453-7860-4700-8645-979178db95b9 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Jul 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 11 Aug 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SWINDON BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | SWINDON | | Post town | Swindon | | Postcode | SN1 2JH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK71 Swindon | | Local authority | Swindon | | Electoral ward | Eastcott | | Westminster constituency | Swindon South | | 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) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 44212321 - Bus shelters - 45213315 - Bus-stop shelter construction work ## Release History - 21 Jul 2021 at 13:28 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6df1c453-7860-4700-8645-979178db95b9 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6df1c453-7860-4700-8645-979178db95b9 21st July 2021 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=f68c47a7-26ea-eb11-810d-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.swindon.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
