## Summary

Renfrewshire Council is initiating the Glasgow Airport Investment Area (GAIA) Construction Project, which involves the main design and construction works for the area surrounding Glasgow Airport, located in Paisley, Renfrewshire. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with the intended publication of the contract notice and request to participate set for August 14, 2017. The expected value of this project is £25 million, and the contract will utilise a restricted procedure to engage one contractor for the Design and Build contract, which is anticipated to be issued in October 2017, following the planning approval process.

This project presents significant opportunities for construction and infrastructure firms, particularly those specialised in design and engineering works, as it aims to enhance the infrastructure and environmental aspects of the area, thereby facilitating business growth around the airport. Companies involved in civil engineering, landscaping, and transportation infrastructure are particularly suited to compete for this contract. The Council has expressed interest in feedback regarding the procurement strategy, encouraging potential bidders to engage early and prepare for participation in this substantial project.

## Notice

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The procurement is for the design and construction (including defects maintenance) of the main infrastructure works related to the Glasgow Airport Investment Area (GAIA) project.

The main infrastructure works include but are not limited to: - Realignment of Abbotsinch Road - Wright Street Link (A new bridge spanning the White Cart -River from Wright Street to an approach road of Arran Avenue) - Cycle Lane Connections (improved connections to existing cycleways & corepaths) - New and improved junctions -Drainage -Landscaping - Inchinnan Cycleway (new off road cycle way connecting proposed realigned Abbotsinch Road to Inchinnan Business Park including a new cycleway/ pedestrian bridge spanning the Black Cart Water) In November 2016 the Council issued a PIN for the Glasgow Airport Investment Area (GAIA) Construction Project (OJEU ref: 394668-2016 (2016/S 217-394668) inviting contractors to a market engagement event in January 2017. The event consisted of a communal project update session and one to one interviews with tier 1 contractors who expressed strong interest in the GAIA project. The Council has considered feedback from these contractors both in questionnaires previously issued to, and completed by, the contractors and the one to one interviews in the development of the intended procurement strategy. The Council is issuing this PIN to update the market and allow them to prepare for the tender. The Council's intended approach is to use the restricted procedure to procure a Design and Build (including defects maintenance) Contract with one Contractor likely in the form of an NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract Option A Fixed Price Lump Sum with an Activity Schedule.
