UK Public Sector Contracts & Tenders

The Client, the Chesterfield Canal Trust (CCT), aims to promote the full restoration and appropriate development of the Chesterfield Canal. At the height of its dereliction, the canal had been reduced from a navigable length of 46 miles and 65 locks to only 26 miles and 16 locks. Since 1989, 12 miles and 37 locks have been restored, with only a 8.5-mile gap between Staveley and Kiveton remaining. In 2019, the UK Government launched the Towns Fund, a scheme whereby 101 towns around the country were invited to bid for up to £25m for regeneration projects. Staveley was selected as one of those towns to receive funding and a portion of the £25m was dedicated to the canal restoration.

The river Doe Lea has suffered a lot with the industrial legacy of north Derbyshire & north Nottinghamshire, particularly from mining and the rapid expansion of communities to serve the mines and other industry. Significant effort has been invested in the last 40 years in cleaning up the river, but there remains a lot to do. Through the Don, Dearne & Rother Network catchment partnership, interested parties have been meeting to share their plans and ambitions for the Doe Lea catchment. It is clear to these parties that there are significant opportunities for partnership working on a catchment scale to expand the scope of intervention and deliver real positive changes to the river environment and the wider catchment. To inform this work, on behalf of potential partners, the Chesterfield Canal Trust is seeking consultants to prepare an Environmental Framework for the Doe Lea Valley and to develop an Action Plan for the delivery of a first trial phase. Subject to funding and endorsement by the potential partners, further work will be commissioned at a later date to monitor and evaluate the success of interventions and to refine and develop the Action Plan for future phases. The details of the work are set out in full in the attached Project Brief or by contacting the Chesterfield Canal Trust Development Manager, George Rogers, development@chesterfield-canal-trust.org.uk. The works are subject to receiving grant funding and thus the scope is at a relatively high level and will be subject to further discussion and refinement of the proposals following any funding award and prior to any contract award. Consultants should be minded of the tight timescales for submission, which is due to confirming the scope of proposals for a funding application and so cannot be extended at this time.

The Chesterfield Canal Partnership is seeking to prepare a new Masterplan to provide a strategic framework for the regeneration of the Chesterfield Canal between Chesterfield and Kiveton Park. The works will take place in three stages to broadly align with HM Treasury Green Book guidance: - Stage 1 will be a programme-level Strategic Outline Business Case - Stage 2 will be determined from Stage 1, and is broadly expected to be derived of four sub-programme level Outline Business Cases - one for each of the three local authority regions, and a thematic case for boat moorings and water-based development covering the full length of the Masterplan. - Stage 3 will be determined from Stage 2, and is broadly expected to be derived of a number of Full Business Cases at individual project or smaller sub-programme levels. The Chesterfield Canal Partnership is seeking consultants for two elements of the above via this opportunity: - Stage 1: Programme-level Strategic Outline Business Case - Stage 2: One of the four Outline Business Cases, for the North East Derbyshire local authority region. The remaining elements of Stage 2 and all of Stage 3 will be commissioned at a later date.
