Description

Cornwall Council, on behalf of Tamar Crossings, is undertaking a soft market assessment exercise to gain an understanding of the potential level of interest from suitably experienced contractors and what might be possible, practical and achievable, in a cost-effective manner, regarding future maintenance of the Rocker Linkages on the Tamar Bridge. This opportunity should be primarily of interest to companies who are experienced in utilising in-line boring machinery on in-situ steel structures, machinery and mechanical components.. It is intended that the responses supplied will assist in enabling Tamar Crossings to prepare an initial outline business case proposal and develop a more detailed Tender specification, ahead of a formal Procurement exercise, but currently this preliminary exercise implies no commercial commitment and this is not a formal tender document.
