SC22080 - A20 Coldharbour Roundabout

Description

Kent County Council (the Council) is the largest local authority in England covering an area of 3,500 square kilometres. It has an annual expenditure of over £1bn on goods and services and a population of 1.6m. The Council provides a wide range of personal and strategic services on behalf of its residents, operating in partnership with the NHS Kent and Medway Clinical Commissioning Group, 12 district councils, and 289 parish/town councils. This service is being commissioned on behalf of the Growth, Environment and Transport directorate. The A20 Coldharbour Roundabout scheme requires the design and construction of a new larger roundabout to replace the existing signal-controlled roundabout junction on the A20 at Coldharbour Lane. The junction connects the A20 corridor to the Strategic Road Network at Junction 5 of the M20. The site is located 2km to the north-west of Maidstone, Kent on the A20 corridor between Allington and Aylesford. Lot 1: The value of the contract is above the Public Contract Regulations 2015 threshold for Works and therefore a multistage competitive tender process (with an option to negotiate if required) was used to procure the requirement. This Competitive Procedure with Negotiation (CPN) process consisted of the following stages: • Selection stage (Selection Questionnaire). • Invitation to Tender. • Negotiation Stage. • Invitation to Submit Final Tender. • Award. The contract was awarded on the basis of the most economically advantageous tender (MEAT) and will be awarded to a single supplier. The CPN procedure was chosen as the optional negotiation stage is critical in delivering the most advantageous tender.
