UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cambridgeshire County Council is seeking to enhance the Barton Greenway through the improvement and widening of footpaths and the development of a bi-directional red surface cycle path near Cambridge. This public procurement process falls under the 'works' category, specifically focusing on footpath construction. Set within the UKH1 region, this planned procurement notice was published on 22nd April 2025 and is currently in the planning stage. The project involves a selective procurement method below threshold, awarded under a framework agreement, with an anticipated contract period from 1st May 2025 to 31st December 2025, potentially extending to 31st August 2026.

This planned procurement offers significant business opportunities, especially for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) skilled in construction and infrastructure development. As the project targets improvements in public transport infrastructure, businesses specialising in civil engineering and cycle path construction will be well-suited to compete for this contract. The contract, valued at a gross amount of £2,400,000, presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses aiming to establish a foothold in the public sector under the management of a sub-central government authority.
