Summary of the contracting process

The project falls under the construction category, and it is set to take place in the United Kingdom, specifically in the UKH3 region. The preliminary market engagement is scheduled to conclude on 14th April 2026, with a future notice expected by 7th May 2026. Interested bidders can access the market engagement opportunity through Open-UK.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity valued at £11,160,000, targeted towards works in the construction sector. Businesses that are equipped to handle sizeable construction projects and those classified as Small or Medium Enterprises (SMEs) may find this engagement particularly beneficial, as the project explicitly supports SME participation.
