Abstract
The Contracting Authority is developing a long-term vision for the Redevelopment of Bangor Waterfront. The vision is to turn Bangor into a ‘destination of choice’, as a place to live, work, visit, study and invest, through a series of interconnected developments and experiences along Bangor Waterfront. In partnership with Belfast Region City Deal, the Department for Communities and key stakeholders, Ards and North Down Borough Council is progressing plans to redevelop a 2 mile stretch of Bangor Waterfront between Skippingstone Beach (near Pickie Fun Park) and Banks Lane, Ballyholme to re-establish Bangor as a thriving seaside location and prime visitor attraction in Northern Ireland. The Redevelopment of Bangor Marina and Harbour Wetside Facilities was one of the constituent projects within the Bangor Waterfront Redevelopment programme recommended within the outline business case. Therefore, the services required under this contract are for the design and delivery of the Redeveloped Marina and Harbour Wetside Facilities. Bangor Marina and Harbour is located on the southern shore of Belfast Lough, within the city of Bangor, County Down. Bangor is Northern Ireland’s third largest urban settlement, with an estimated catchment population of approximately 170,000 within a 20-minute drive and around 475,000 within 30 minutes. In May 2022, the town was granted City status as part of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Celebrations. Situated at the heart of Bangor’s seafront, the Marina is one of Northern Ireland’s premier marine leisure facilities, with an established reputation as a Blue Flag and 5-Gold Anchor award-winning marina. It acts as a gateway for domestic and international vessels arriving into Northern Ireland and is a central feature of Bangor’s visitor offering and waterfront identity. The redevelopment site for this project is focused solely on the wetside infrastructure of the marina and harbour, including (but not limited to) pontoons, berthing systems, service connections, access routes and associated in-water infrastructure. Please note that landside buildings, operational facilities and the surrounding public realm do not fall within the scope of this project and are being progressed separately under the Urban Waterfront and Public Realm (UWPR) project, also funded through the Belfast Region City Deal. The site is located at Bangor Marina, Quay Street, Bangor, BT20 5ED.
