## Summary

The procurement process is being conducted by Bedford Borough Council for the project titled "Mill Meadows Landing Platform," situated in Bedford, England, within the repair and maintenance services industry category. The current stage of procurement is active and involves an open procedure, with the tender period concluding on 23rd June 2017. The estimated contract value ranges from £25,000 to £35,000, with work commencing on 1st July 2017 and expected to complete by 30th June 2018. Interested businesses are encouraged to express their interest through the designated e-tendering website.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for local construction and maintenance companies, particularly those with expertise in civil engineering and waterfront construction. Businesses that can demonstrate experience in similar repair and restoration projects would be well-suited to compete. As the project requires either the restoration or demolition of the landing platform, contractors with strong capabilities in both structural repair and demolition will find this tender particularly relevant to their services, potentially leading to further contract growth in the public sector.

## Notice

A landing platform built on the River Great Ouse in Bedford has fallen into disrepair. Due to bank erosion the rear side of the platform has partially collapsed. The structure is a timber clad platform constructed on a steel channel beam supported by steel columns driven into the riverbed. The land side section of the platform was supported by timber stakes driven into the bank before erosion under the stakes destabilised the structure. The timber elements of the platform are aged and would benefit from replacement. The council is looking to either restore the landing platform or demolish and remove the platform completely. The choice of option depends upon tendered costs of both.
