Summary of the contracting process

The Highways Structures Programme, organised by Cheshire West and Chester Borough Council, focuses on enhancing highway structures across various regions in the United Kingdom, including North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, and more. This procurement process, identified by the tag 'award,' has reached the award stage, marking the completion of the tender. The project falls under the industry category of works for complete or part construction and civil engineering work, using a direct award procurement method. The contract, valued at £21,000,000, spans from 1st June 2026 to 31st May 2030, promising a substantial period for project completion and participation opportunities for contractors throughout England.

This tender offers a lucrative opportunity for businesses in the engineering and construction sectors, particularly those capable of working within framework agreements. Large-scale organisations such as Amey OW Limited, Balfour Beatty Civil Engineering, and Ramboll UK Limited have been involved, highlighting the programme's suitability for well-resourced companies. However, smaller enterprises like Cantidad Limited and Essency Consulting Limited also participated, suggesting opportunities for SMEs that can offer specialised services or innovative solutions in structural projects. This blend of large and small business involvement underscores the potential for diverse companies to expand their operations and enhance their portfolios within the public sector infrastructure domain.
