The procurement process was undertaken using a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition. The buying organisation, Falkirk Council, located in Falkirk, UK, reached an agreement with Hargreaves Property Ventures Ltd for this works contract. The procurement stage is complete, with the deadline for the contract being signed on 22nd June 2023. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the works construction industry to engage in the development of the Falkirk Gateway site. Companies with experience in similar infrastructure projects, particularly in the category of General public services, would be well-suited to compete. The Falkirk Gateway Development Agreement aims to enhance the local area's infrastructure and connectivity, providing a platform for growth and investment opportunities for interested parties. ## Notice Installation of shared use cycle / pedestrian route as part of a development site sale ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Council intends to enter into two development agreements with Hargreaves Property Ventures Ltd. to lease / sell land at adjacent sites in Falkirk to the north-west and south-west of Westfield Roundabout. The development agreements follow a marketing exercise carried out in December 2017, a preferred developer being identified (the highest bidder in this case) in 2018 and Heads of Terms agreed in 2021. Developers were required to submit a draft masterplan showing the mix of housing and commercial development proposed and a price offer. Because the development agreements as a whole impose no positive obligations to develop on the preferred developer, the Council does not consider that they are within the scope of application of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. A positive obligation does exist in relation to the site to the north-west of the two sites which is to construct a shared use pedestrian and cycle lane (the green corridor route). The estimated value of the works involved in the provision of the green corridor route as being GBP234,000, and therefore were that contract to be procured on its own it would not satisfy the value thresholds above which the Public Contracts Regulations apply. On that basis the Council's position is that the development agreement does not have the effect of awarding a contract that would be subject to the regulations. The development agreement also requires the developer to secure planning approval for the development in general prior to purification of the agreement. ### Procurement Information The works are only able to be delivered by the developer as a part of a wider development scheme after the commencement of a lease by them. The marketing procedure was undertaken as a sale of land prior to the Faraday case. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL484249 | | Notice type | OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Jul 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 22 Jun 2023 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £234,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | FALKIRK COUNCIL | | Locality | FALKIRK | | Post town | Falkirk and Stirling | | Postcode | FK5 4RU | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM12 Falkirk | | Local authority | Falkirk | | Electoral ward | Falkirk North | | Westminster constituency | Falkirk | | Delivery location | TLM76 Falkirk | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | HARGREAVES PROPERTY VENTURES | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45233161 - Footpath construction work ## Release History - 21 Jul 2023 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL484249 - 29 May 2023 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F15 - Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAY479582 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAY479582 Falkirk Gateway Development Agreement - Installation of shared use cycle / pedestrian route as part of a development site sale - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL484249 Falkirk Gateway Development Agreement - Installation of shared use cycle / pedestrian route as part of a development site sale ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.falkirk.gov.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000720714 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
