This project is part of the construction industry category, with an estimated cost of £8 to £9 million, of which £6 million will be provided through the UK Government's Port Infrastructure Fund. The procurement is currently in the Award stage, following its completion, and the construction contract was signed on 19 April 2021, with urgent delivery required ahead of the 1 July 2021 deadline due to Brexit-related regulatory changes. The relevant location for this procurement is Stanford-le-Hope, UK. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the construction and logistics sectors, particularly those experienced in developing transport infrastructure and facilities. Companies that can demonstrate technical competence and familiarity with emergency procurement procedures may find themselves well-positioned to compete effectively. Furthermore, firms adept at navigating post-Brexit complexities will be advantageous, as the facility aims to streamline documentation processes for trucks and drivers, reflecting the urgent demand for enhanced logistics solutions in the UK market. ## Notice The project comprises the development of an 8.8 acre HGV truck parking facility in conjunction with the UK Government to provide additional capacity following the departure of the UK from the European Single Market (Brexit). ### Lot Information Lot 1 A multi-functional truck parking facility in order to provide suitable transfer of European documentation (TADs) preparation and handover to drivers and other administrative legal processes that will be required for trucks and drivers following Brexit. ### Procurement Information The project in question involves the development of an unused (8.8 acre) area of land on DP World London Gateway Port (LG Port) into a multi-functional truck parking facility in order to provide suitable transfer of European documentation (TADs) preparation and handover to drivers and other administrative legal processes that will be required for trucks and drivers following Brexit. This facility will also act as a holding area for HGVs waiting clearance to enter / leave the new Border Control Post being constructed at LG Port as well as providing an amenity area for HGV drivers (New Project). The cost of the New Project will be approximately PS8 - 9 million, of which PS6 million will be funded by the Government under the Port Infrastructure Fund (PI Funding). LG Port applied for PI Funding in October 2020 and that it was announced in late December 2020 that the application had been successful. At the point that London Gateway Port Limited (LGPL) was notified that it had been successful in obtaining the PFI funding, it had not received the Grant Funding Agreement (GFA) from the Secretary of State yet. The GFA was received on 8 January 2021 and completed on 8 March 2021. The GFA requires the LGPL ensure "...that the Funded Activities will be available for use by the Authority and other Crown Bodies for the provision of Border Control Services as soon as possible and before 01 July 2021". This left LGPL with very little time to procure a suitable contractor, negotiating the construction contract and deliver the New Project by 1 July 2021. Given the programme for delivery, the latest date on which the construction contract could be signed in order to meet the 1 July 2021 deadline was end of February 2021. It was also critical to deliver New Project as quickly as possible given the complexities in the UK import and export market created by a combination of Brexit and the global pandemic in order to minimize disruption for importers and exporters (including essential goods, PPE Etc.). On that basis LGPL had to opt for the extreme urgency procedure as the accelerated procedure would not have been fast enough to allow the delivery of the New Project on time. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/010335-2021 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 May 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 18 Apr 2021 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Cancelled | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LONDON GATEWAY PORT LIMITED | | Locality | STANFORD-LE-HOPE | | Post town | Southend-on-Sea | | Postcode | SS17 9DY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH3 Essex | | ITL 3 | TLH32 Thurrock | | Local authority | Thurrock | | Electoral ward | Corringham and Fobbing | | Westminster constituency | South Basildon and East Thurrock | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | WHITEMOUNTAIN QUARRIES | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 11 May 2021 at 19:24 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/010335-2021 ## Notice URLs - http://www.londongateway.com ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
