UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Exeter City Council for the Yaroslavl Bridge Works in Exeter, under the title "PR352025 Yaroslavl Bridge Works," was completed on 23rd April 2026. Initially tagged for tender on 19th February 2026, it was focused on construction works in the UK region. Despite the tender being active with an end date set for 13th April 2026, the procurement process was eventually cancelled as indicated by the tender cancellation notice published on the same date. The procurement involved open competition aimed at structural replacements and refurbishments under a single-package programme for a cable-stayed footbridge over Western Way, which is a significant traffic route in Exeter.

This tender presented considerable opportunities for contractors specialising in bridge construction and refurbishment works, especially those experienced in handling large-scale infrastructure projects. Businesses that offered competitive pricing, quality assurance, and capability in managing work at heights, traffic management, and compliance with relevant safety regulations would have been well-suited to compete in this open procurement method. Despite its cancellation, the works outlined provide insight into potential future requirements and can guide contractors wanting to align their capabilities and readiness for similar upcoming opportunities. The contract was open to SMEs and VCSEs, broadening the scope for business growth within the local construction industry sector.
