The contract is valued at £9,900 GBP and is set to run from March 29, 2023, to August 31, 2023. This project falls under the Business services category within the North East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method used was an Open procedure, with the tender period closing on March 13, 2023. This contract presents an opportunity for businesses, particularly those experienced in interpretation services and arts, to engage with the North Pennines AONB Partnership. As the project aims to develop walking routes and interpretation plans, businesses specializing in leisure services, tourism, and creative industries would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The Council's confirmation of National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) funding will support the successful implementation of this project. ## Notice This contract is for North Pennines AONB Partnership's Fellfoot Forward - Slow Trails Interpretation. As part of the Fellfoot Forward LPS delivery and legacy, we wish to promote 7 new walking routes based in the Fellfoot Forward scheme area. Four of the routes link to local villages and are low level shorter walks for mixed generation groups and those looking for a more gentle exploration of the Eden valley. Three of the routes are designed to support those with mobility needs. They are level, short routes with a destination. A suitably experienced Provider is required to develop the interpretation around these 7 routes working with the North Pennines AONB Partnership, local landowners, Eden valley community, local authorities and Cumbria County Council. The routes are described, and an outline interpretative plan has been developed to consider, adapt and apply to the routes. The lead interpreter will be required to develop an approach to create a package of walks which will support people to take time and become more deeply immersed in the landscape they are passing through. We have aspirations for the contractor to bring in the arts to enhance the interpretation and create walks leaflet or similar that is special to the suite of walks from this landscape. The Council has confirmed NLHF (National Lottery Heritage Fund) funding to enable delivery of this Project. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e0c2fb58-98b5-4645-8791-8a159eca3d55 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Mar 2023 | | Submission deadline | 13 Mar 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 27 Mar 2023 | | Contract period | 28 Mar 2023 - 31 Aug 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £10,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £9,900 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DURHAM COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | DURHAM | | Post town | Durham | | Postcode | DH1 5UL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC4 Northumberland, Durham and Tyne & Wear | | ITL 3 | TLC41 Durham | | Local authority | County Durham | | Electoral ward | Neville's Cross | | Westminster constituency | City of Durham | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | THE PUBLIC ART | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79000000 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ## Release History - 29 Mar 2023 at 10:58 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e0c2fb58-98b5-4645-8791-8a159eca3d55 - 13 Feb 2023 at 10:08 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/96e69029-6765-4882-a7f5-4999790dac63 - 13 Feb 2023 at 10:01 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1f90400f-b8f6-401b-8bfc-4d18da0f54e1 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e0c2fb58-98b5-4645-8791-8a159eca3d55 29th March 2023 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/96e69029-6765-4882-a7f5-4999790dac63 13th February 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1f90400f-b8f6-401b-8bfc-4d18da0f54e1 13th February 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=e623d07c-85ab-ed11-811f-005056b64545&fromProjectDashboard=True Request for Quotation document can be accessed via this link ## Notice URLs - http://www.durham.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
