This competitive tender has a deadline of 12th November 2021, and the contract period runs from 4th April 2022 to 1st September 2025. The procurement employs a selective method, specifically a competitive procedure with negotiation, and falls under the industry category of design-modelling services, including various engineering consultancy disciplines. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in civil engineering, structural engineering, and transport system consultancy services, as well as those specialising in operations and maintenance, BIM, and low volume manufacturing of track and vehicles. Companies offering expertise in these areas will be well-positioned to compete for this contract, contributing not only to their business portfolio but also to the infrastructure development in Coventry. ## Notice Coventry City Council ('the Council') is seeking to progress the design of the first route linking the Rail Station, City Centre, and University Hospital, from its current position at the end of Stage 1, through to the end of a Public Inquiry which is Stage 5. It involves work in a number of different disciplines, which broadly cover the Concept Design and Statutory Processes, Operations and Maintenance (O&M), BIM, and Low Volume Manufacturing (LVM) of track and vehicles, and the contract documents will reflect this by being broadly laid out in these streams.
