With the procurement process currently in the planning stage, the title of the notice is "Potential Sites for Salt Storage Facility". This falls under the general public services category, and suitable sites should allow for the storage capacity of approximately 6,000 to 8,000 tonnes of road salt, with minimum criteria such as sufficient space and direct access to the public road network. Interested parties should note the communication date for future notices is set for 12th April 2019. This tender represents a unique opportunity for businesses involved in land development, logistics, and construction to expand their services in the Outer Hebrides. Companies with expertise in assessing potential development sites, as well as those that can facilitate building projects that meet the specified criteria, will find this opportunity particularly relevant. Engaging with the Comhairle nan Eilean Siar can lead to long-term contracts, especially given the authority’s commitment to establishing a permanent facility to enhance winter maintenance operations in the region. ## Notice Identification of sites in Stornoway area that may have potential to be developed as a road salt storage facility. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Comhairle Nan Eilean Siar is the unitary local authority for the Western Isles (Outer Hebrides) of Scotland. It is responsible for the provision of winter maintenance services throughout the area. Annual winter maintenance operations will use approximately 6000-8000T of road salt in Lewis and Harris. A significant element of the Comhairle's winter maintenance policy is the establishment of a permanent road salt storage facility in or around Stornoway with the capacity to store up to 8000T of road salt. The Comhairle is currently assessing the suitability of two potential sites for construction of the salt store and are seeking to confirm whether any other suitable sites in or around the Stornoway area are currently available for the Comhairle to purchase or lease. Suitable sites may be existing buildings or bareland green/brownfield sites, but should meet the following minimum criteria: -Sufficient space to store 6000-8000 tonnes of road salt. (This would equate to an approximate building footprint of 50m by 30m with an eaves height of around 7m) -Direct access to the public road network -Suitable for HGV access -Mains electricity and water connections on, or nearby, the site. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=APR350668 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Prior Information Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | 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 | 5 Apr 2019 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 12 Apr 2019 | | 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 | COMHAIRLE NAN EILEAN SIAR | | Locality | STORNOWAY | | Post town | Outer Hebrides | | Postcode | HS1 2BW | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM2 Highlands and Islands | | ITL 3 | TLM20 Highlands and Islands | | Local authority | Na h-Eileanan Siar | | Electoral ward | Steòrnabhagh a Deas | | Westminster constituency | Na h-Eileanan an Iar | | Delivery location | TLM64 Na h-Eileanan Siar | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 70 - Real estate services ### Codes - 70122200 - Land purchase services ## Release History - 5 Apr 2019 at 00:00 - Planning - PCS Notice - Website Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=APR350668 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=APR350668&idx=1 5th April 2019 - Potential Site Identification Questionnaire - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=APR350668 Potential Sites for Salt Storage Facility - Identification of sites in Stornoway area that may have potential to be developed as a road salt storage facility. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.cne-siar.gov.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000576717 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=576717 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
