Description

Portsmouth City Council - the 'Council' - is seeking tenders to appoint a Principal Contractor to undertake a specialist marine Ground Investigation (GI) works within Tipner Lake / Porchester Lake, Tipner West and Horsea Island, Portsmouth in order to progress the Tipner West Regeneration Project.

The deadline for tender submission is 18th December 2020 at 12pm with award of contract following on 26th January 2021. The works period is significantly constrained by bird migration and breeding patterns meaning that works may only commence from mid / late March 2021 and must be complete by mid May 2021. However it should be noted that this works period may be subject to review and a such the Council will require flexibility from the appointed contractor in the event that these dates need to be moved forward or backwards.

The contract will be let in general accordance with the Open Procedure as defined within the Public Contracts Regulations (2015). However, as the contract in question is a works contract with an estimated value which falls below the relevant current statutory threshold it should be noted that publication of this OJEU Contract Notice is in the interests of promoting transparency, equality of opportunity and competition and as such does not place any legal obligations on the part of the Council in respect of adherence to the Public Contracts Regulations (2015) beyond the general provisions set out for below threshold contracts.
