This procurement, classified under Construction Work, involves a contract focused on the design and construction phase of the A38 MRN scheme. The project is located in the South West region of the United Kingdom and aligns with the Civil Engineering, Highways and Transportation Collaborative Framework's Lot 3, which targets contracts valued between £4m and £25m. The contract was awarded to Octavius Infrastructure Ltd, valued at £1,080,991, beginning on 19 May 2025 and concluding on 18 May 2026. Although the tender was initially announced to close by 6 February 2025, the award was published on 12 June 2025, with the procurement conducted using an unspecified method noted as "Other -".

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in large-scale infrastructure projects, particularly those experienced in civil engineering and transportation. Large companies capable of managing complex construction projects within specified budgets and timeframes could leverage such opportunities for business expansion. While SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) may find the suitability requirements challenging due to the scale of the project, companies like Octavius Infrastructure Ltd, known for their expertise in similar works, are ideal candidates. The partnership with North Somerset Council may also pave the way for future collaborations and access to similar public contracts within the region and beyond.
