The procurement process, classified under the CPV code 45220000 for engineering and construction works, took place via an open procedure, with the tender period ending on 12 December 2017. The contract's execution period spans from 15 January 2018 to 31 August 2018, and the budget for this project ranged between £74,000 and £81,000, ultimately awarding a value of £86,387.17 to the successful supplier, Miles Water Engineering. The project enjoys the support of multiple local councils and aims to improve connectivity and accessibility for the community. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those in the construction and civil engineering sectors, focusing on infrastructure development. Companies that specialise in engineering works, particularly those experienced in bridge construction and associated landscaping projects, will find this contract relevant. The project not only aims to enhance local transport links but also prioritises environmental concerns by utilising local materials, which may align with the values of SMEs seeking projects that contribute positively to community welfare and sustainability. ## Notice The Green Infrastructure Delivery Board (a partnership between Broadland District Council, Norwich City Council, South Norfolk Council, Norfolk County Council and the New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership) wish to provide a new bridge across the River Yare, which runs along the southern boundary of the city of Norwich. The bridge will link an existing public footpath (Norwich FP3) which runs north to south across Bowthorpe Southern Park too an existing Bridleway (Colney BR2) which emerges onto the B1108 Watton Road via Church Farm, Colney, Norwich NR4 7TX . The bridge will reconnect the two rights of way, re-establishing the historic link that was lost when the previous bridge was washed away in the 1950's The bride will provide a direct link between the housing in Bowthorpe and the major employment locations at the Norwich Research Park (NRP) and the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (NNUH) . It will facilitate journeys to work on foot and also allow workers from the NRP and NNUH recreational access to Bowthorpe Southern Park and the riverside walk. From an environmental angle, the material for the bridge access ramps will be excavated from site; from one of the ponds that was created when gravel was previously extracted for highways works. The excavations will allow for the creation of a fish fry refuge along the edge of the pond, which will be connected to the River Yare by an underground culvert and the infilling of a breach in the existing footpath. The The budget available for this project is between PS74,000 and PS81,000. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ffd2d923-d3a8-4994-b3d8-f928df30d0e9 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Jan 2018 | | Submission deadline | 12 Dec 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 3 Jan 2018 | | Contract period | 31 Jan 2018 - 31 Aug 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £81,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £86,387 | | 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 | NORWICH CITY COUNCIL E-TENDERING | | Locality | NORWICH | | Post town | Norwich | | Postcode | NR2 1NH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH5 Norfolk | | ITL 3 | TLH51 Norwich and East Norfolk | | Local authority | Norwich | | Electoral ward | Mancroft | | Westminster constituency | Norwich South | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | MILES WATER ENGINEERING | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work - 45200000 - Works for complete or part construction and civil engineering work - 45220000 - Engineering works and construction works - 71300000 - Engineering services ## Release History - 3 Jan 2018 at 11:41 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ffd2d923-d3a8-4994-b3d8-f928df30d0e9 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ffd2d923-d3a8-4994-b3d8-f928df30d0e9 3rd January 2018 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.norwich.gov.uk/YourCouncil/Finance/Pages/Procurement.aspx ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
