Contractors urged to tender for £12m business park work
Contractors are being urged to submit a tender for main strategic infrastructure and construction works at Sleaford’s £56m eco-business park.
North Kesteven District Council is asking businesses which could be interested in the major works for the site including the civils, spine road construction and delivery of phase one of units to join the Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for these, so they don’t miss the chance to potentially tender later.
A main contractor is required for these main infrastructure and construction works, and this main contractor must also offer sub-contractor opportunities.
The total expected value of these main infrastructure and construction works is to be circa £12m.
Sleaford Moor Enterprise Park is a 37-acre eco-conscious business development being brought forward by North Kesteven District Council, situated close to Pride Parkway in the town and visible from the roadside along the A17. It will unlock new business opportunities and bring up to 500 jobs for the local area through the creation of up to 37,245 sq m of floor space for new and expanding businesses.
Infrastructure work for the Enterprise Park could start later this year following a tender process. A first phase will follow with subsequent build of units taking place through to 2027.
North Kesteven District Council Economy and Place Director Andy McDonough said: “We’re pleased to be moving forward with our Sleaford Moor Enterprise Park. Given that this £56 million scheme is all about growing our local economy and creating jobs in North Kesteven, it’s wonderful to be welcoming contractors suitable for the main strategic infrastructure and construction works to come forward and begin registering their interest in these.
”Sleaford Moor Enterprise Park is intended to be a blueprint for eco-conscious development in future. It demonstrates how site features such as walkways around attenuation ponds, tree planting and wildflower verges, as well as energy saving technology and design features within the units, can create an environment with scope for both wildlife and better wellbeing for employees, making it an exciting project for any contractor.”
Businesses which would be interested in submitting a tender for the strategic infrastructure works and construction of commercial industrial style units are asked to join biT Group’s (part of Telford & Wrekin Council) DPS by 5pm on Friday 4 June 2021.
