Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Tewkesbury Borough Council aimed at the design and construction of a new metal footbridge suitable for foot and cycle traffic has been cancelled as of 31st March 2026. Originally, the tender was part of an open competition under the works category, with a gross estimated value of £240,001. The project was intended to take place in Tewkesbury, United Kingdom, and had set key dates including the enquiry period ending on 6th March 2026 and tender submissions closing by 23rd March 2026. Despite initial activation, the award was ultimately cancelled as all bids exceeded the available budget, indicating a future re-tendering opportunity.
