What is being bought

Published requirement description

This procurement is focused on investment in Public Realm at Station Approach and the

Market Square. This will create a new sense of arrival at the station, encouraging the onward

journey into the town centre, and a new outdoor destination in the town centre. The

procurement is set into 2 work packages.

These projects specifically seek to:-

  • Create new pedestrian routes/gateways around the town centre with greater connectivity

and accessibility to public transport;

  • Attract more people into the town centre,
  • Revamp the Market Square into an attractive, multi-use space for events and activities.

Package 1 - Station Approach

Creation of a new arrival experience at Stafford Station with high quality mix-mode public

realm gateway offering connectivity between the newly quietened Station Road, into Victoria

Park and onwards into the Town Centre, encouraging pedestrian and cycle routes.

Package 2 - Market Square

Redevelopment of Market Square to create a high quality, multi-functional urban public

realm space in the heart of the town centre suitable for use for a range of events and by

visitors. It is critical that the space is flexible for a variety of uses and has the infrastructure

necessary to support this.

The Contracting Authority incorporated a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period at the

point that an award decision notice is communicated to tenderers.

agreement, the reasons for the decision, including the characteristics and relative

advantages, the name and score of the successful tender(s), and specified when the

standstill period was expected to end or the date before which the Contracting Authority will

not conclude the contract/framework agreement.

If an appeal regarding the award of a contract/framework agreement has not been

successfully resolved, the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 provide for aggrieved parties

(England, Wales and Northern Ireland).

Any such action must be brought promptly (generally within 3 months). The Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or may order the Contracting Authority to amend any

document and may award damages.

If an agreement has been entered into the Court may make a declaration of ineffectiveness

or may order that the duration of any relevant specific contract be shortened and

additionally may award damages.

The time limit for seeking such a declaration is generally 30 days from notification of the

award (either by award decision notification or contract award notice depending upon the

circumstances) or otherwise 6 months.
