Summary of the contracting process

The procurement contract titled "SC24022 - Folkestone ABF Bridge Design & Build" has been awarded by Kent County Council. This contract is part of the "Folkestone - A Brighter Future" scheme aimed at revitalising Folkestone's town centre by enhancing pedestrian connectivity and supporting a high-quality environment. The contract involves designing and manufacturing the superstructure of a pedestrian footbridge to connect Guildhall Street North to Shellons Street. This project falls under the construction work and architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services industry categories. The procurement process followed an open procedure and is currently in the award stage, with the contract period set from 29 November 2024 to 28 February 2028. The award was made to Cake Industries on 15 November 2024, with a contract value of £178,300.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities for companies specialising in construction and engineering, particularly those with expertise in designing and constructing pedestrian infrastructure. Businesses equipped to handle large-scale, collaborative projects will find this contract particularly appealing due to the necessity for close coordination with design consultants Aecom. The project will require the contractor to prepare a submission for the superstructure as part of the KCC Structures Technical Approval Process and ensure synchronisation with Aecom's substructure design. Large-scale enterprises experienced in similar public infrastructure projects will be well-suited to compete and succeed in such tenders.

Notice Information

Notice Title

SC24022 - Folkestone ABF Bridge Design & Build

Notice Description

The "Folkestone - A Brighter Future" scheme seeks to 'level up' Folkestone's town centre by supporting active travel, creating a high-quality environment that supports civic pride and reverses years of disparity in investment by transforming the fortunes of the towns primary retail areas. The requirement of this contract of works is to design and manufacture the superstructure of a pedestrian footbridge to connect Guildhall Street North to Shellons Street. A footbridge is proposed to link Guildhall Street North and Shellons Street more-directly near the location of its pedestrian crossing, to re-establish the link which was severed by the construction of the A2033 link (Foresters Way and Shellons Street). Previously an earthwork ramp solution was considered for providing this link but due to challenges associated with this proposal, such as the impact on existing services and the level of visual intrusion it would cause, the footbridge structure was proposed by AECOM as it is considered to be a better solution. The superstructure contractor will need to work closely with Aecom (design consultant), who are responsible for designing the substructure for the bridge to ensure that the design of the superstructure and substructure are coordinated. Two Agreement in Principle (AIP) submissions will need to be made for the KCC Structures Technical Approval Process (TAP), Aecom (as the substructure Designer) will prepare the submission for the substructure, but the superstructure contractor will need to prepare the submission for the superstructure. It will be essential for Aecom and the superstructure contractor to work closely to ensure that the submissions are made at the same time and are co-ordinated.
