Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the project titled "CWF Lot 2B - Broadhead Bridge (Replacement Structure)" has been completed, as managed by the buying organisation, Westmorland and Furness Council. This contract fell under the construction industry category and took place in England, United Kingdom. The contract was awarded on 7 July 2026, with the project slated to begin on 13 July 2026 and conclude by 6 May 2027. The project involves significant construction work, valued at £194,563.40, including liaising with Network Rail and reinstating the highway approach. The award stage has been completed with "Story Contracting Limited" selected as the supplier.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses in the construction sector, particularly those specialising in infrastructure projects. Given the nuanced aspects of liaising with entities like Network Rail and environmental assessments, businesses with expertise in collaborative infrastructure development, project management, and regulatory compliance are well-suited to compete for similar opportunities in the future. SMEs can regard this as an encouraging signal, given the procurement process's suitability for such enterprises, although VCSEs were not a focus in this case.
