Located in the North West region of the United Kingdom, this tender is at the tender stage, with the submission deadline set for 12 November 2018. The project involves the removal and replacement of deteriorated railings on the historic Arnside Pier to comply with updated Health and Safety legislation. The total estimated value for this project is £30,000, with a minimum contract value of £10,000. The anticipated contract period is from 4 March 2019 to 29 March 2019, and the procurement method is a limited competitive quotation, applicable below threshold values. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for construction firms, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to submit quotes for the project. Companies that specialise in railing installations, particularly those with experience in coastal environments and heritage conservation, would be well-positioned to compete. The council is open to receiving two separate quotes to enable phased replacement, thereby allowing businesses to showcase their capabilities and potentially secure future contracts if additional funding is obtained for further works. There may also be opportunities for suppliers to establish a long-term working relationship with the council, especially if they demonstrate competitive pricing and high-quality service. ## Notice Arnside Pier Railing Specification Arnside Parish Council is seeking quotes for the removal and replacement of railings of its historic pier. The old railings have corroded and will become unsafe if not replaced, Health and Safety legislation has been changed and new railings will need to comply. The Council would therefore like a 3 rail system for improved safety in a style in keeping with the heritage of the location but offering value for money. As they are in an exposed marine environment they must also be constructed or finished in a suitable way for resistance to corrosion. The Council would prefer to receive quotes for the entire job (supply, removal of old railings and installation of the new railings) to ensure that overall responsibility for completing the works lie with one company to avoid errors. The Council is aware that this will be a costly operation and intends to apply for funding, however it may be that the Council can only afford partial replacement this financial year and will seek to undertake the rest in the following year if possible. The Council would therefore like to receive two separate quotes. One for the cross part at the end of the pier (the most urgently in need of replacement) and the second quote for the long sides of the pier (up to where it widens out) The Council is aware that it may prove cheaper to have the entire works carried out in one go so it would be helpful if you could include in your email how much the total could be reduced by if the Council received sufficient funding. The Council would also like to know whether you would be carrying out a site visit and or survey before carrying out the works and when you would be able to begin work if you were awarded the contract. The pier is constructed of stone and is thought to be rubble in-filled. Railings are currently set directly into the stone, in some places there is also tarmac around the base. There is a domestic electrical power source situated at the end of the pier. A plan and photographs are attached. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4582565f-8419-4a3b-81b0-ef151518428a | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Competitive quotation (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Oct 2018 | | Submission deadline | 12 Nov 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 4 Mar 2019 - 29 Mar 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £30,000 | | 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 | ARNSIDE PARISH COUNCIL | | Locality | MILNTHORPE | | Post town | Lancaster | | Postcode | LA7 7HX | | 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 | Kent Estuary | | Westminster constituency | Morecambe and Lunesdale | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45341000 - Erection of railings ## Release History - 27 Oct 2018 at 07:49 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4582565f-8419-4a3b-81b0-ef151518428a - 27 Oct 2018 at 07:46 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4582565f-8419-4a3b-81b0-ef151518428a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4582565f-8419-4a3b-81b0-ef151518428a 27th October 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/55c2a120-95bd-48b4-9c47-7087a7efe3e8 Plan and photos ## Notice URLs - http://arnsidepc.org.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
