Summary of the contracting process

Salford City Council has concluded the awarding stage for the "Detection Surveys (Package 1)" project under the BBR/ Improving Journeys - SCMC initiative. This procurement process, categorised under road transport services, focuses on improvements along the existing number 50 bus route between Salford Crescent and MediaCityUK. Though the procurement followed a 'below threshold - unknown' method, the contract, signed on 15 December 2025, is valued at £61,554 gross (or £51,295 excluding VAT). The contract is slated to run until 31 May 2026, conducted by Malcolm Hughes Land Surveyors Limited based in Warrington, UK.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in transport and surveying services, particularly those equipped to handle infrastructure improvement projects. While this specific contract has been awarded to Malcolm Hughes Land Surveyors Limited, future similar tenders could be ideal for SMEs in this sector aiming to expand their project portfolio in public infrastructure services. Companies with expertise in road transport services or those interested in partnering for such municipal improvements would find this domain promising for business growth, especially if they can offer competitive, below-threshold solutions.
