Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "Mold Road Active Travel Improvement Scheme" was initially overseen by Wrexham County Borough Council, located in Wrexham, United Kingdom. The tender process, classified under the industry category of construction work, involved an open procurement method. Despite successfully awarding the contract to Wills Bros Civil Engineering Ltd, the project was subsequently cancelled as of 28 November 2025 due to specific requirements identified in relation to materials and deliverables. The procurement had previously passed through stages including an open procedure for tender and an award notice published on 1 September 2025, with an intended contract period from 1 October 2025 to 30 September 2027.

This tender offered a substantial opportunity for companies within the construction sector, particularly those with expertise in active travel and infrastructure projects, to engage in significant works valued initially at £5,000,000 with a gross amount of £6,000,000. Businesses with the capability to deliver comprehensive quality and cost-effective technical solutions would have been well-suited for this contract. The project's cancellation indicates a need for suppliers who can adapt to evolving requirements and stringent quality standards, providing an opportunity for growth to those who can meet such demands in future tenders within the region.
