Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the Ashton Canal Bridge, under the Victoria Northern Eastern Gateway Scheme Phase 3, involves the Manchester City Council as the buying organisation. This project, classified under "Construction work" (CPV code 45000000), encompasses the construction of a new bridge and access ramps over the Ashton Canal at New Islington. The procurement utilised a restricted procedure, indicative of a selective procurement method. The tender process concluded with the award stage, with significant dates including the tender submission deadline until 26th February 2024, contract commencement on 29th April 2024, and completion on 11th October 2024. With an estimated contract value of £1,500,000 GBP, the work is set to positively impact various regions across the United Kingdom, spanning from Scotland to Northern Ireland and several areas in between.

This opportunity provides substantial growth prospects for construction firms, particularly those classified as SMEs (small and medium enterprises) and supported by VCSE (voluntary, community, and social enterprises) standards, given the project's focus on inclusivity. The award was granted to A E Yates, a potential exemplar for similar businesses looking to engage with public tendering opportunities. For businesses specialising in construction and infrastructure, such projects represent a chance to enhance their portfolio, expand into public sector contracts, and fortify relationships with local authorities like Manchester City Council.
