This initiative, classified under CPV Code 45233000 (Construction, foundation and surface works for highways, roads), involves the creation of a new link road in Darwen, North West England, aimed at improving traffic flow and facilitating future residential developments. The tender is in the active stage, with submissions due by 4th October 2017. The works are scheduled to commence on 8th January 2018 and are set to complete by 28th February 2019. This tender presents a robust opportunity for construction firms that specialise in highway and civil engineering projects. Businesses equipped to deliver infrastructure improvements, including road construction and junction enhancements, will find a suitable environment for competition. The focus on sustainable growth within the Darwen East Development Corridor also indicates potential for ongoing contracts related to developments in the area, making this an appealing prospect for companies looking to expand their reach within the public sector construction industry. ## Notice The scheme involves construction of a new link road 750m in length with a 6m wide carriageway and 2m footways on either side throughout the southern section of the road and a 3m wide non-motorised track on its western side, throughout the northern section of the road between Marsh House Lane and Ivinson Road Darwen with all associated civil engineering infrastructure. To also include various junction intervention works at Ivinson Rd / Oak Grove, Oak Grove / Holden Fold, Priory Drive / Pole Lane, Pole Lane / Sough Road, Watery Lane / A666 Junction and Grimshaw Street / A666. The new link road site is located within the urban boundary of Darwen towards its eastern extremity, approximately 750m to the east of the centre of Darwen and within the boundary of the Darwen East Development Corridor (DEDC). The DEDC is one of a number of sites allocated for housing development by Policy 16 (Site 16/14) of the Council's Local Plan Part 2 (2015). The link road site consists of rough grassland and is devoid of structures, other than hard standing associated with Ellison Fold Lane which dissects the site from east to west and connects a farmhouse to the east with Ellison Fold Terrace to the west. The site is surrounded by residential areas to the north, west and south with rough grassland and an isolated farmhouse located to the east. It is surrounded by residential areas to the north, west and south with rough grassland and an isolated farmhouse located to the east. The improvements are required to reduce congestion across Darwen, whilst helping to bring forward sustainable growth, particularly which is associated with the future development of the DEDC. The road layout would allow for future junctions to be added providing access to the DEDC development to be located to the east of the road and a connection to Hawthorn Avenue to the north east. The improvements briefly comprise the following: - * New compact roundabout at Sough Road/Grimshaw Street/Pole Lane junction; * Junction Improvements at Pole Lane/Priory Drive; * A new junction at Priory Drive/Marsh House Lane in order to facilitate a new Link Road; * A new Link Road across the East Darwen Allocation Site between the above junction and Ivinson Road; * Junction Improvements at either end of Oak Grove ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2c733a8d-49c8-41e7-a70d-a110d710caf9 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Aug 2017 | | Submission deadline | 4 Oct 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 8 Jan 2018 - 28 Feb 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £2,500,000 | | 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 | BLACKBURN WITH DARWEN BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | BLACKBURN | | Post town | Blackburn | | Postcode | BB1 7DY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD4 Lancashire | | ITL 3 | TLD41 Blackburn with Darwen | | Local authority | Blackburn with Darwen | | Electoral ward | Blackburn Central | | Westminster constituency | Blackburn | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45233000 - Construction, foundation and surface works for highways, roads ## Release History - 24 Aug 2017 at 08:16 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2c733a8d-49c8-41e7-a70d-a110d710caf9 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2c733a8d-49c8-41e7-a70d-a110d710caf9 24th August 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=78e58d1d-a288-e711-80e4-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.blackburn.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
