## Summary

The procurement process for the Ardrossan North Shore Enabling Works is being conducted by North Ayrshire Council, located in Irvine, UK. This project is aimed at preparing a brownfield site for subsequent developments including an Education Campus. The procurement stage is currently in the planning phase, with a market engagement exercise initiated to gather feedback on the project requirements. It is anticipated that works will commence in June 2023 and conclude by April 2024, although these dates are subject to confirmation. The project carries an estimated budget of £32 million and will utilise the New Engineering Contract (NEC4 ECC Option A) for the contract form.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in construction and civil engineering, particularly those specialising in land remediation, infrastructure development, and marina extensions. Companies looking to expand their operations in the public sector should consider participating, especially those capable of managing either comprehensive work packages or subdivided projects. The engagement process invites contractors to provide insights which will inform the future procurement strategy, thus allowing for potential collaboration and partnership in delivering this extensive redevelopment project.

## Notice

Works are currently estimated to commence in June 2023 with completion in April 2024. However this has to be confirmed and could be subject to change. The form of contract is likely to be New Engineering Contract (NEC) - NEC4 ECC Option A. Further information on the requirements of the project can be found in the attached documents.
