## Summary

National Museums Liverpool (NML) has awarded a contract to Land & Water Services Ltd for the design and construction of a marine stop wall and associated works in Canning Dock, Liverpool Waterfront. The project is part of the Waterfront Transformation Project and is aimed at maintaining the south dry dock as a functional dry dock. The contract, valued between £2.25 million and £2.75 million, was initiated in February 2024 and is planned for completion by the end of September 2024. This procurement falls under the 'Marine construction works' industry category and adopts an open procedure procurement method. The works involve a specialised maritime construction environment, with optional site visits offered to prospective bidders in November 2023.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for firms experienced in marine construction and those familiar with maritime heritage project requirements. The project, funded by the Ministry for Levelling Up, Housing, and Communities, along with anticipated contributions from other key stakeholders, underscores the importance of efficient, high-quality construction methods. Businesses specialising in waterproofing, temporary works, and dock edge interfaces would find this project especially appealing and beneficial for expanding their portfolio in the challenging and prestigious context of Liverpool's historic waterfront.

## Notice

The appointed Principal Contractor must be experienced and sympathetic to undertaking works in a maritime heritage environment. The works for the Marine Stop Wall entails the design and construction of a new stop wall and extension of the concrete slab to the dock, constructed in front of the existing timber mitre gates (which are degrading) to enable Canning Dock to remain as a dry dock.

Bidders are invited to request an optional site visit with NML representatives which are to be held on 22 November 2023 between 11:00am - 16:00pm. Full details, technical requirements and scope of works are detailed in the accompanying suite of documents and appendices.

In addition to this funding support, funding applications have been made to several key funders such as DCMS, Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, Liverpool City Council Section 106 and other funding trusts and foundations and philanthropic.
