This procurement falls under the works category, specifically classified as fencing, railing, and safety equipment installation work. The tender period is currently active, with a submission deadline set for 18th December 2020 at 14:00. The contract is expected to commence on 22nd January 2021 and will last for 16 weeks. Interested bidders should ensure they refer to the attached procurement documents available on the Kent Business Portal. This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialised in safety equipment and installation services. Businesses capable of providing cost-effective, durable, and low-maintenance railing systems would be particularly well-suited to compete. With a contract value of £75,000, this project not only fosters business growth but also encourages innovation and quality in safety solutions within the South East region of the United Kingdom. ## Notice Thanet District Council is seeking to remove the current safety handrail system to the central spine and #2 berth's five mooring dolphins (2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6), also to the last position on berth#3 and replace it with an economically beneficial and easy maintenance system, to prevent falls from the walkways. This amounts to approximately 650 linear metres of hand rail system, including both sides of the walkway. This is to be confirmed by the prospective contractor on their reconnaissance/quantity survey. It is expected to have a minimum lifespan of 15 years. The Contract is anticipated to commence upon 22nd January 2021 for a duration of 16 weeks not including Bank Holidays and TDC shutdowns.
