This initiative falls under the construction industry category and is aimed at developing a 14.6-hectare site to enhance the local business environment. The procurement stage is in the planning phase, with a planned contract period starting on 1 June 2021 and ending on 31 May 2023. Interested parties are encouraged to submit their expressions of interest by the future notice date of 4 February 2021, as this process is designed to gather market interest without the immediate intention of launching a formal tender. This procurement opportunity offers substantial prospects for businesses focused on construction and related services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) that are keen to contribute to the development of business infrastructure. The project aims to create a vibrant business park that supports growth and integration within the community, making it ideal for companies specialising in construction structures, materials, and auxiliary products. This initiative will not only provide contracts for development but also foster job creation and stimulate economic growth in the region. ## Notice The Isle of Wight Council (IWC) invite parties to review the development opportunity and submit Expressions of Interest in relation to the delivery of all or part of the scheme. It is important to note that this is not an offer for sale or invitation to tender, it is strictly an Expressions of Interest exercise to capture market interest via a Prior Information Notice (PIN). Any further decision on development strategy will be subject to the rules associated with a formal procurement process or marketing method.The Nicholson Road development opportunity comprises surplus land owned by the Isle of Wight Council. The site extends to approximately 14.6 hectares and is situated around 1.6km south of Ryde town centre. It is well connected to the Island road network being located adjacent to the A3005 which is one of two A roads connecting the main settlements of Newport, Sandown, Shanklin, Yarmouth, Cowes and Ryde.The scheme has been designed to expand the capacity of Ryde Business Park to generate employment opportunities and meet an identified market need for space for growing businesses in the area. The design provides a sustainable solution to allow for businesses to flourish, enhance the environment and create a distinct place where people want to reside, meet, work and play. Plots have been carefully arranged to support growth through arrangements that encourage interaction between businesses and are adaptable to changing needs. The scheme aims to build social value through the provision of jobs, the provision of social infrastructure and by encouraging social interaction to create a sustainable and cohesive business community that is well integrated with its wider community. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6ebc3eac-ccc6-4ee2-ae14-80b8acb34cf4 | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 Feb 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 4 Feb 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 May 2021 - 31 May 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ISLE OF WIGHT COUNCIL | | Locality | NEWPORT | | Post town | Portsmouth | | Postcode | PO30 1UD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ3 Hampshire and Isle of Wight | | ITL 3 | TLJ34 Isle of Wight | | Local authority | Isle of Wight | | Electoral ward | Newport Central | | Westminster constituency | Isle of Wight West | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) ### Codes - 44000000 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) ## Release History - 2 Feb 2021 at 10:12 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6ebc3eac-ccc6-4ee2-ae14-80b8acb34cf4 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6ebc3eac-ccc6-4ee2-ae14-80b8acb34cf4 2nd February 2021 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.iwight.com ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
