This market research opportunity, titled "Edinburgh Tram - York Place to Newhaven - Enabling Works at Bernard Street," is currently in the planning stage. Interested contractors must respond to the market consultation questionnaire by 12 noon on 21st July 2017. The works fall under the general public services industry category and are classified as a construction project within the CPV code 45234126. The contracting authority is located at Waverley Court, 4 East Market Street, Edinburgh, EH8 8BG. This tender offers a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in light railway construction and systems supply to engage with the City of Edinburgh Council and shape the procurement strategy for this significant infrastructure project. Contractors that can demonstrate experience in similar projects will be well-suited to participate in the market research exercise, enhancing their competitive position for upcoming contracts related to the tram extension. This engagement will not only allow businesses to influence project outcomes but may also lead to future work once the design and build contract is advertised later in 2017. ## Notice The City of Edinburgh Council is seeking suitably qualified and experienced contractors to participate in a market consultant exercise to support the procurement strategy for the diversion of high risk utilities in the area of Bernard Street/Baltic Street/ Constitution St Edinburgh. The works are one of a number of enabling works packages to support the extension of the Edinburgh Tram route from York Place to Newhaven. Contractors are invited to review and respond to the market consultation questionnaire no later than 12noon on 21st July 2017 by email to kelly.faulds@edinburgh.gov.uk ### Lot Information Lot 1 The City of Edinburgh Council will shortly be inviting contractors experienced in the construction of light railways, and the supply of light rail systems to participate in market research for the extension to the existing Edinburgh Tram line. The design and build contract is expected to be advertised in the Official Journal of the European Union later in 2017, subject to all necessary approvals. This market consultation exercise is an exciting opportunity for contractors to participate in finalising the Council's procurement strategy and gain insight into the proposed contract strategy. Noting interest is required for the purposes of participating in the market research only. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN287028 | | Notice type | OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Jun 2017 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 1 Sep 2017 | | 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 | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE CITY OF EDINBURGH COUNCIL | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH8 8BG | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | City Centre | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh East and Musselburgh | | Delivery location | UKM25 Edinburgh, City of | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 34632200 - Electrical signalling equipment for railways - 34941300 - Tramline - 34946000 - Railway-track construction materials and supplies - 34946110 - Rails - 45234000 - Construction work for railways and cable transport systems - 45234126 - Tramline construction works - 45234128 - Tramway platforms construction work ## Release History - 20 Jun 2017 at 00:00 - Planning - OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN287028 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JUN287028&idx=1 22nd June 2017 - Market Research Questionnaire - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN287028 Edinburgh Tram - York Place to Newhaven - Enabling Works at Bernard Street - Market Research - The City of Edinburgh Council is seeking suitably qualified and experienced contractors to participate in a market consultant exercise to support the procurement strategy for the diversion of high risk utilities in the area of Bernard Street/Baltic Street/ Constitution St Edinburgh.
