Over the years, the company has acquired an excellent reputation in the industry by combining the expertise and experience of its staff with the use of high-quality materials and equipment from around the world. Originating in the Northeast of England - which remains its' headquarters - UK Docks has now extended its dock and marine service operations down to the English Channel and across to the Irish Sea. UK Docks Gosport is located in Portsmouth Harbour, with quick access to the Solent. It provides a comprehensive service for new build, refit, maintenance and repair services for commercial and private vessels. UK Docks owns the site at Victoria Quay, Royal Clarence Yard and have increased their presence in the south. UK Docks has invested heavily in the deep-water berthing facility since acquiring it and improvements have included a 75T amphibious boat hoist, a 50T boat transporter and a 55T mobile crane. The New South Store incorporates part of Samuel Wyatt's large storehouse of 1758 and was extended and remodelled in 1897/98. It splits into two primary spaces, linked in part by open arcading. Offices evidently served the southern end (split into three) and the north western corner. A narrow staircase is sited at the south-eastern corner and at the north eastern corner is a larger enclosed staircase. Internally the earlier range retains the wide-span trusses and the central range, of substantial brick construction with jack arches, and was built as fireproof construction. Around two thirds of the third floor was destroyed by incendiary bombs in WW2 and could be reinstated to its historic form. The general plan of the building on the first-floor replicates that on the ground floor. The building is capable of adaptation to a variety of uses and could cope well with the creation of more links between the primary spaces, or in fact more subdivision. Externally the New South Store appears to be in fair condition, but internally has been out of use and neglected for nearly 20 years. A consequence of this neglect is that sections of the floor within the large open storeroom towards the north east corner have collapsed. The post-war flat roof has failed above this point and caused significant decay to the timber structure below. Parts of the floor structure have recently been removed, but the western half has historically been converted by extensive internal remodelling and the provision of a cast iron fire proof floor, over which is laid what appears to be some form of bitumen floor. The structural integrity and condition of the iron work requires a full survey as areas are evidently in poor condition. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/023491-2024 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Jul 2024 | | Submission deadline | 28 Aug 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | 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 | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | GOSPORT BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | GOSPORT | | Post town | Portsmouth | | Postcode | PO12 1EB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ3 Hampshire and Isle of Wight | | ITL 3 | TLJ35 South Hampshire | | Local authority | Gosport | | Electoral ward | Harbourside & Town | | Westminster constituency | Gosport | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45210000 - Building construction work ## Release History - 26 Jul 2024 at 16:10 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/023491-2024 ## Notice URLs - http://www.gosport.gov.uk - https://sebp.due-north.com/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
