This project is classified under construction works, specifically aiming to develop managed workspace of approximately 1494 sq.m. The open procurement method is being employed, with the tender period closing on 23rd November 2018. The contract is expected to commence on 4th February 2019 and will continue until 18th December 2020. The initiative aligns with the broader objectives outlined in the Barrow Port Action Plan and addresses a notable demand for office space in the region. This tender offers a valuable opportunity for construction and property development businesses, particularly those focusing on eco-friendly designs as the project aims for a BREEAM rating of 'Very Good'. Companies experienced in delivering flexible office spaces and those that can navigate the complexities of developing in previously derelict areas may find this opportunity particularly advantageous. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as this project could serve as a gateway to further developments in the rapidly evolving Waterfront Business Park. ## Notice The proposed office development is located on Barrow Island and forms part of the Barrow Island Growth Zone and more specifically the Waterfront Business Park detailed in the Barrow Port Action Plan. The Contract form is a Standard Building Contract With Quantities (SBC/Q) 2016 to construct the managed workspace. The site is Plot 1 and is at the western end of the Business Park area and is approximately one mile south of the Town Centre. The surrounding area is made up of residential properties to the north, further development plots to the east, one of which has been developed by BAE Systems. To the south Harding Rise is immediately in front of the site and there are then open views out over Walney Channel. The recent history of the whole of the area including Plot 1 is derelict brown field land, but the area has been subject to remediation works carried out by Cumbria County Council. These works included the provision of a new access road to the Barrow Island area together with other new service roads and other infrastructure including foul and surface water drainage, services installations and landscaping. All these works have been subject to various planning applications. The site (along with two other plots) has been the subject of a separate planning application (2017/9005) and recently involved removal of the existing topsoil layer and capping the site with stone which includes changing the levels across the whole site. The proposed development will provide accommodation for Use Class B1a and B1b. The current intention is that the accommodation will provide managed office space as there is an identified need in the Borough for such accommodation. The intention is for the development to act as a gateway building to the Waterfront Business Park and provide a catalyst for further development on the wider Business Park area. The new office building will provide managed business space together with associated access road and parking at the Waterfront Business Park, Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria. Planning Approval was granted for the new office development on 6th March 2018. The project will provide managed workspace and grow on space consisting initially of 1494 sq.m (16,081 sq. ft.) of flexible office space, with the building broken into blocks linked by nodes which reduce the overall mass of the building. The two-storey building will have east and west elevations approx. 8.5 metres high, while the north and west elevations which face the car park will be 7.2 metres. The plan of the building has been designed and carefully laid out to permit natural ventilation throughout which, in conjunction with other design features will enable it to achieve a BREEAM rating of 'Very Good'. There are a number of site constraints which have influenced the layout of the site which include the following: - An existing access junction on to the site off Harding Rise has been formed as part of the road infrastructure works carried out by Cumbria County C ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8f04ce20-ecfa-448e-9f08-d4083b4cacd7 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Nov 2018 | | Submission deadline | 23 Nov 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 4 Feb 2019 - 18 Dec 2020 | | 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 | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BARROW IN FURNESS BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | BARROW IN FURNESS | | Post town | Lancaster | | Postcode | LA14 2LD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD1 Cumbria | | ITL 3 | TLD14 Westmorland and Furness | | Local authority | Westmorland and Furness | | Electoral ward | Old Barrow and Hindpool | | Westminster constituency | Barrow and Furness | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 44000000 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 7 Nov 2018 at 10:21 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8f04ce20-ecfa-448e-9f08-d4083b4cacd7 - 22 Oct 2018 at 11:41 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bc657afd-7b0e-48d1-9805-df000a6a0b67 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8f04ce20-ecfa-448e-9f08-d4083b4cacd7 7th November 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bc657afd-7b0e-48d1-9805-df000a6a0b67 22nd October 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.barrowbc.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
