This tender, identified as "GBC VH Walnut Bridge Construction to the Council's Design- 2nd Iteration - AWARD," classified under bridge construction work, is based in the South East region of the United Kingdom. The contract, which commenced on 11th June 2020 and is scheduled to conclude by 31st March 2022, has a total value of approximately £2,453,773.36. The awarded supplier is VolkerLaser Ltd, selected through a selective restricted procurement method, highlighting the importance of compliance with public contract regulations in the award phase. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the construction sector, particularly those specialising in bridge construction, structural steelworks, and piling services. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) seeking to expand their footprint in public infrastructure projects would be well-positioned to participate in similar future tenders. The project's focus on enhancing vital transportation links makes it appealing for vendors who can showcase their capability in health and safety compliance and innovative construction solutions, thus contributing to local regeneration efforts. ## Notice Guildford Borough Council, working closely with Surrey County Council and with funding from the M3 Local Enterprise Partnership wishes to replace Walnut Bridge in the centre of Guildford. The existing bridge is narrow and has a western entrance that is 'hidden' within an existing building, so that only those with local knowledge know of the bridge's presence. A new bridge structure will also act as a catalyst for the regeneration of the Bedford Wharf site. This pedestrian and cycle bridge forms a vital link between the Railway Station and the Town Centre. The bridge forms a key component of the Guildford Town Centre Transport Package, with the remaining funding workstream from the M3 LEP secured in March 2016. The Council invites applications from suitably qualified operators and supply chains to build the Council's design for the bridge. In compliance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, the Council has published full details of its selection questionnaire (SQ) and ultimate documentation concerning tenders to be returned. For the avoidance of doubt only the SQ/ PAS 91 return is required in the first instance and the deadline for the return of this document is the 22nd March 2019 at 12 Noon. Please read carefully the provisions concerning anti- collusion. Please note the requirement to provide full details of your supply chain in your SQ return including the steel fabrication provider and the piling services provider you propose to use The top 5 highest scoring firms on capability who are compliant in all respects (in, for example, health and safety matters) will then be invited to tender. Full details of the timescales applying are contained in the Invitation to Tender (ITT) document. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dcffb40c-9cb8-4726-90b4-dcff76a04169 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Jun 2020 | | Submission deadline | 22 Mar 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 10 Jun 2020 | | Contract period | 10 Jun 2020 - 31 Mar 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,200,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £2,453,773 | | 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 | SE SHARED SERVICES | | Locality | SURREY | | Post town | Guildford | | Postcode | GU2 4BB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ2 Surrey, East and West Sussex | | ITL 3 | TLJ25 West Surrey | | Local authority | Guildford | | Electoral ward | St Nicolas | | Westminster constituency | Guildford | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | VOLKERLASER | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 44212400 - Piling - 45221110 - Bridge construction work - 45221113 - Footbridge construction work - 45223210 - Structural steelworks ## Release History - 11 Jun 2020 at 12:18 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dcffb40c-9cb8-4726-90b4-dcff76a04169 - 11 Jun 2020 at 12:18 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dcffb40c-9cb8-4726-90b4-dcff76a04169 - 11 Jun 2020 at 12:18 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dcffb40c-9cb8-4726-90b4-dcff76a04169 - 11 Jun 2020 at 12:17 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dcffb40c-9cb8-4726-90b4-dcff76a04169 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dcffb40c-9cb8-4726-90b4-dcff76a04169 11th June 2020 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.guildford.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
