This project is categorised under "works" and primarily involves marina construction and dredging activities, including optional tasks such as work on Fisherman’s Pontoons and Swansea Marina Lock Barrel. The procurement process began with a tender and moved to the award stage on 8 October 2024. The scheduled dredging campaigns are set to occur in the winters of 2024/25 and 2026/27, with the entire contract remaining active until the completion of the second dredging campaign. The project is located between the River Tawe Barrage and the Sail Bridge walkway. This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the construction and marine service sectors, particularly those specialising in dredging and water management. Companies with expertise in similar marine construction projects or with the capability to manage the environmental impact of such activities are well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future. The consistent need for periodic maintenance dredging also points to potential long-term partnerships and sustained business growth for firms with relevant experience. ## Notice Dredging by Water Injection Dredging (WID) methods is required up stream of the River Tawe Barrage, in the vicinity of the Swansea Yacht & Sub-Aqua Club (SYSAC) Marina, to restore the navigable depth in the vicinity of the marina and approaches to the Tawe Lock.The dredging works are to be carried out by WID methods as this is the only method that has been licensed in previous years. A new license application will be made to Natural Resources Wales (NRW) for WID operation in 2024 and 2034.This contract is for the provision of two dredge campaigns, the first in winter of 2024/25 and the second two years later in the winter of 2026/27. The dredging contract will remain in force until completion of the second dredge campaign.Following the construction of the Tawe Barrage in 1994 there was a considerable impounded water depth upstream of the barrage, which provided a perfect location for the establishment of a marina facility. However, sedimentation has progressively reduced this capacity and eventually started to impact on the vessels moored on the floating pontoon structures. This was recognised to be a problem some time before the first maintenance dredging activity was carried out in 2008.Maintenance dredging has been required within the area occupied by the SYSAC marina periodically since 2008. The dredging site is located between the River Tawe Barrage and the Sail Bridge walkway on the impounded river. Typically dredging has been carried out every 2 years, during the winter period between January to March. The timing of the dredging has been based on license conditions, .to minimise the potential environmental impact, and also have the least impact on the marina and lock usersa) WID dredging in the SYSAC Marinab) Fisherman's Pontoons (optional)c) Swansea Marina Lock Barrel (optional) ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Sell2Wales | | Latest notice | https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=137680 | | Notice type | S2W Notice - Website Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 Oct 2024 | | Submission deadline | 12 Feb 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 8 Oct 2024 | | 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 | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LEGAL, DEMOCRATIC AND BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE, SWANSEA COUNCIL, | | Locality | SWANSEA, | | Post town | Swansea | | Postcode | SA1 3SN | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL4 Mid and South West Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL43 Swansea | | Local authority | Swansea | | Electoral ward | Waterfront | | Westminster constituency | Swansea West | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | VAN OORD | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45242200 - Marina construction work - 45252124 - Dredging and pumping works - 45252140 - Sludge-dewatering plant construction work ## Release History - 9 Oct 2024 at 14:57 - Award - S2W Notice - Website Contract Award Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=137680 - 11 Jan 2024 at 16:00 - Tender - S2W Notice - Website Invitation to Tender Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=137680 ## Notice URLs - http://www.swansea.gov.uk/dobusiness - https://etenderwales.bravosolution.co.uk/home.html - https://www.vanoord.com ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
