SHORT DESCRIPTION OF NATURE AND SCOPE OF WORKS:

 

Pursuant to powers conferred by the Greater Nottingham Light Rapid Transit Act 1994, the Contracting Authority together with Nottinghamshire County Council entered into a concession agreement in March 2000 for the design, construction, financing, commissioning, operation and maintenance of a light rail system known as "Nottingham Express Transit Line One" which runs between Hucknall and Station Street in Nottingham City Centre with a spur to the Phoenix Park and Ride Site ("NET Line One"). NET Line One has been in successful operation since March 2004 and currently carries more than 10 million passengers per annum.

It has always been the intention for NET Line One to be the first line of an integrated network. It is therefore proposed that the existing NET Line One arrangements will be terminated and that, under a new concession agreement ("Concession Agreement"), the Contracting Authority will procure the detailed design, construction, financing and commissioning of two further lines (collectively referred to as "NET Phase Two"), together with the operation and maintenance of the entire extended network ("Network") including NET Line One.

The two new lines will serve the south western area of Greater Nottingham and will comprise one route of approximately 9.8km to Chilwell via Queens Medical Centre and Beeston, and one route of approximately 7.6km to Clifton via Wilford.

In addition to the two new lines referred to above, the Concession Agreement will include a mechanism to enable the parties to agree terms in relation to the design, construction, financing, maintenance and/or operation of any future extensions and/or additions to the Network which may be proposed by the Contracting Authority in its absolute discretion from time to time.

NET Phase Two is to be funded pursuant to the United Kingdom Government's Private Finance Initiative. An application for an order under the Transport and Works Act 1992 was submitted in April 2007 and, following a public inquiry, the order was made on 19.5.2009 and came into force on 9.6.2009. Government Programme Entry funding approval was granted in respect of NET Phase Two in October 2006 and Conditional Approval was granted in August 2009.

The Contracting Authority intends to publish a contract notice formally launching the procurement process shortly. This will contain further detail in respect of NET Phase Two, including the scope of the procurement. However, in advance of this, the Contracting Authority would like to give those persons interested in tendering for NET Phase Two the opportunity to attend a bidder open day on 11 September in order to obtain further information regarding the project.

Persons wishing to attend should email Kevin MacDonald at Kevin.Macdonald@nottinghamcity.gov.uk before 12 noon (GMT+1) on 9.9.2009 and the subject matter of the email must specify "NET Phase Two - Bidder Open Day." Please note that, for practical reasons, the number of persons who may attend the open day will be limited and the Contracting Authority will confirm to interested persons as soon as possible whether or not they have been allocated a place.

Further details in respect of the open day are as follows:

Venue: Hart's Nottingham, Standard Hill, Park Row, Nottingham, NG1 6GN.

Date: 11.9.2009.

Registration Time: 9.30 am.

Please note, the invitation at this stage is to attend the bidder open day only. Responses by potential bidders for NET Phase Two at this stage (or any failure to respond) will not in any way influence their participation in the subsequent procurement nor the evaluation by the Contracting Authority of any responses that may be submitted by such organisation in the course of the procurement process. Division into lots: no.
