The process was conducted using an open procedure below the threshold, focusing on architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services. Located in the East Midlands, the procurement went through various stages, with the contract period starting on 24th June 2024 and ending on 28th February 2025. Notable phases included the creation of a Strategic Outline Business Case, followed by an Outline Business Case for the North East Derbyshire region. The invitation to tender concluded on 3rd June 2024, with an estimated project value of £65,000. This tender offers a significant opportunity for growth to businesses in the architectural and engineering sectors, particularly those that are SMEs. The Chesterfield Canal Masterplan is a comprehensive project that can drive regional development, presenting opportunities for businesses specialising in strategic planning, detailed design, and construction oversight. Companies that focus on water-based infrastructure projects or have experience in collaborating with local government bodies are especially well-suited to make substantial contributions to this initiative, thereby expanding their portfolios and enhancing their market positions in the public sector. ## Notice The Chesterfield Canal Partnership is seeking to prepare a new Masterplan to provide a strategic framework for the regeneration of the Chesterfield Canal between Chesterfield and Kiveton Park. The works will take place in three stages to broadly align with HM Treasury Green Book guidance: - Stage 1 will be a programme-level Strategic Outline Business Case - Stage 2 will be determined from Stage 1, and is broadly expected to be derived of four sub-programme level Outline Business Cases - one for each of the three local authority regions, and a thematic case for boat moorings and water-based development covering the full length of the Masterplan. - Stage 3 will be determined from Stage 2, and is broadly expected to be derived of a number of Full Business Cases at individual project or smaller sub-programme levels. The Chesterfield Canal Partnership is seeking consultants for two elements of the above via this opportunity: - Stage 1: Programme-level Strategic Outline Business Case - Stage 2: One of the four Outline Business Cases, for the North East Derbyshire local authority region. The remaining elements of Stage 2 and all of Stage 3 will be commissioned at a later date.
