The proposed facilities must replicate a contemporary operating environment affected by modern warfare. The tender, titled "STANTA - Trench Training Facilities," has a value of £1,650,000 and follows a restricted procedure. The tender period ends on 10th August 2023, with a contract period starting on 8th January 2024 and ending on 14th June 2024. This procurement opportunity by the Ministry of Defence presents a chance for construction companies to bid for a contract to build realistic trench warfare training facilities. Businesses suited to compete in this tender are those experienced in construction works, particularly in creating complex structures within sensitive areas. The procurement process involves careful planning to preserve the Special Site of Scientific Interest (SSSI) where the facilities will be located, requiring compliance with local authority and statutory regulations for environmental protection. ## Notice Expressions of Interest are requested to tender for a construction contract in order to provide the Defence Training Estate - East (STANTA), with trench warfare training facilities. Requirements are likely to include trench facilities located close to the perimeter of the Urban Training Facility, consisting of pre-cast concrete ducts/channels forming linear T-shaped trenches, with a mixture of pre-cast and cast in-situ structures. The effect to be achieved is training facilities that replicate a contemporary operating environment that has been subjected to modern warfare. The new facilities must enable the trainer to create realistic environments that cover a multitude of scenarios in the urban environment. The proposed facilities are on SSSI. This will require careful planning so as not to intentionally or recklessly damage the features of special interest, disturb wildlife or cause damage to the surrounding grassland. All necessary undertakings to meet planning, consent and condition requirements of local authority and other statutory bodies must be included as part of the deliverables. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/84fc5d42-d2c0-4d2b-8c8e-f05243b03c85 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Jul 2023 | | Submission deadline | 10 Aug 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 8 Jan 2024 - 14 Jun 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,650,000 | | 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 | MINISTRY OF DEFENCE | | Locality | TILSHEAD | | Post town | Salisbury | | Postcode | SP3 4RS | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK72 Wiltshire | | Local authority | Wiltshire | | Electoral ward | Till Valley | | Westminster constituency | East Wiltshire | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 20 Jul 2023 at 12:35 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/84fc5d42-d2c0-4d2b-8c8e-f05243b03c85 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/84fc5d42-d2c0-4d2b-8c8e-f05243b03c85 20th July 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://contracts.mod.uk/ Link to eSourcing Portal - https://contracts.mod.uk/esop/guest/go/opportunity/detail?opportunityId=56683 Link to Opportunity Detail ## Notice URLs - https://www.landmarcsolutions.com/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
