Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council has completed the procurement process for the Railway Bridge Project, focusing on the construction of a new footbridge to replace the deteriorating Havant Footbridge in Hampshire. The project falls under the Railway Bridge Construction Work category, with the procurement method involving a call-off from the Pagabo National Civils and Engineering Framework via Lot 2. The procurement method was selective, targeting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The contract period began on 1st September 2025 and will run until 31st August 2026, with the award issued to John Graham Construction Limited on 18th September 2025. Located in the South West region of the United Kingdom, this project represents significant infrastructure investment by Hampshire County Council to enhance pedestrian access in Havant.

The Railway Bridge Project presents numerous opportunities for businesses, particularly those involved in civil engineering and construction work. SMEs can benefit from the framework agreement's inclusive approach, offering them the chance to expand their portfolio by engaging in substantial infrastructure work. The project focuses on constructing a new footbridge that will serve the community's needs and meet current standards, making it suitable for businesses with expertise in railway infrastructure and public works. This development not only contributes to local economic growth but also aids businesses specialising in railway construction work to establish or enhance their presence in the industry.

Railway Bridge Project

Notice Description

Hampshire County Council (HCC) own and maintain Havant Footbridge which crosses the railway at Havant in Hampshire. Whilst the footbridge is not part of the station infrastructure it is positioned within Network Rail (NR) land, with main span supports on the station platforms and access ramps within the forecourt and on NR non-operational land. Some sections are also within Havant Borough Council (HBC) land The footbridge was built in 1947 and provides the main public route over the railway. It connects the Civic Centre Campus, Havant College, and nearby large housing area of Leigh Park in the north to Havant Town Centre, Bus Station and Havant Park in the south. Deterioration of the footbridge has accelerated over recent years, and it is no longer deemed cost effective or practical to continue repairing it. In addition, the footbridge no longer meets uses needs. Therefore, the footbridge is to be removed, and a new one provided which meets current standards and provides access for all.
