Summary of the contracting process

Halton Borough Council has awarded a contract for the "A56 - East Runcorn Connectivity" project, focusing on the reconstruction and resurfacing of the A56 from Junction 12 to the Warrington border. The project falls under the industry category of construction work for highways and roads, with a specific focus on surface work for highways. Located in the North West of England, the procurement process followed a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £14,518,330, was awarded to Balfour Beatty Civil Engineering Ltd, with the contract period scheduled from 2nd September 2024 to 30th September 2025. The tender stage is marked as complete, having concluded the tender period by 14th November 2023, with the award decision announced on 18th July 2025.

This project offers substantial opportunities for large-scale businesses, particularly those specialising in civil engineering and road construction. Given the project's scale and the selective procurement method employed, it is best suited for established firms with significant resources and expertise in similar works. As the process was a call-off from a framework agreement, businesses already positioned within such frameworks had a strategic advantage, indicating future opportunities may arise through similar channels, particularly within regional infrastructure development projects managed by local government authorities.
