TVCA-PROC-0851 - Middlesbrough to Redcar Active Travel Corridor - Preconstruction

Tees Valley Combined Authority (the 'Contracting Authority'), part of the Tees Valley Combined Authority Group have appointed Balfour Beatty via SCAPE Civil Engineering & Infrastructure Framework under PCR2015 to provide preconstruction services for the Middlesbrough to Redcar Active Travel Corridor under the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement (CRSTS) programme. TVCA has entered into a NEC4 Professional Service Short Contract (PSSC) which provides for Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) services relating to the development of the schemes including support for detailed design development, buildability advice, cost input, risk mitigation and programme optimisation. Subject to successful completion of the ECI phase, agreement of target cost and all required approvals, the Contracting Authority intends to instruct the same contractor to undertake the construction and delivery phase under the NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract. The procurement therefore encompasses both the ECI and potential delivery phases of the scheme. Subject to successful completion of the ECI phase and the necessary approvals, the Authority intends to award the delivery phase to the appointed contractor under NEC4. The contract values published within this notice reflect the value of the ECI phase only. The value of the construction phase, and the phases of this scheme being taken forward cannot be determined until completion of the ECI activities. Subject to the Authority proceeding to the delivery phase, a subsequent notice will be published following execution of the NEC4 delivery contracts to reflect the value of the construction works.
