## Summary

Cambridgeshire County Council is initiating a tender process for the A605 Kings Dyke Level Crossing Closure project, located in Whittlesey, in the East of England. The procurement is classified under the construction works category and is currently in the award stage, with a contract value of £18,111,671.25. The contract is expected to commence on 11th May 2020 and run for approximately two years, ending on 8th March 2022. The estimated cost of the design and construction works is £15,800,000. The tender period concluded on 4th November 2019, with details available through the LGSS Procurement office, led by Jon Collyns.

This opportunity presents significant potential for growth, particularly for civil engineering firms and construction companies capable of undertaking large infrastructure projects. Businesses specializing in road construction, engineering, and those adept in managing complex design and build contracts would find this tender particularly relevant. The contract also welcomes proposals that incorporate value engineering and improvements to existing designs, thereby opening avenues for innovative solutions that meet technical constraints.

## Notice

The Authority wishes to appoint a Provider for design and construction to bypass the level crossing at King's Dyke, Whittlesey. The works will include 1km of new road on structural embankments, a new bridge overthe railway and accommodating works. The scheme was previously awarded as a 2 stage Design and Buildcontract, for which a detailed design was completed. Cost estimates increased over time and so the Authority isnow seeking improved outcomes from the market. The Provider will be required to take responsibility for the existing detailed design, but may seek approval fromthe Authority as to where it may be improved. The Authority therefore welcomes Value Engineering exercisesfrom the Provider but notes that existing planning consent, site and technical constraints must be all upheld inany proposals which may come forward. Non-Material Amendments may be considered. It is expected that a contract will last for a period of approximately 2 years.
