UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "A57 Link Roads Peat Pile removal" was conducted by National Highways, a public authority under the UK central government. This contract, held at Bridge House in Guildford, is categorised in the 'works' industry, specifically construction work for highways. The project involved the direct procurement method, below the threshold without competition, to move a peat pile located at the A57 Link Roads prior to land possession. The contract process reached the award stage and was signed on 27th June 2025. The contract period spanned from 9th July 2025 to 30th September 2025, with a gross amount of GBP 134,400. The project location is in the UK, highlighting its regional focus to improve infrastructure.

This contract presented an opportunity primarily suited for large-scale construction companies with experience in highway projects, such as C Bower & Sons Limited, the awarded supplier. By involving smaller to medium enterprises (SMEs) as subcontractors or partners, firms can expand their footprint in the public works domain. The removal of the peat pile was crucial for progressing the broader A57 Link Road scheme, thereby contributing to regional development and infrastructure enhancement. Businesses looking to grow through government infrastructure projects could pivot towards collaborations and direct contract opportunities similar to this case, especially those involved in earthworks and civil engineering sectors.
