Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involved Chelmsford City Council, acting as the buying organisation, for the "Repair & Restoration of the Reconstituted Stone Footbridge" in Chelmsford. This contract was categorised under the "works" industry, specifically focusing on bridge construction. The procurement followed a closed quotation process, identified as "limited competition" below threshold, and has reached the award stage. The contract was officially signed on 1 February 2026, with a performance period from 1 April 2026 to 31 August 2026. The procurement was actively conducted for a main value of £122,000, contributing grossly to a total of £146,000 in GBP.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in construction, particularly those with expertise in bridge repair and restoration. Given the limited competition nature, small to medium enterprises (SMEs), such as Bakers of Danbury Ltd—already awarded the contract—are well-positioned to compete effectively. The contract, while below the threshold, ensures engagement with skilled local contractors, promoting regional economic growth and offering a practical entry point into public sector contracts for construction firms aiming to expand their portfolio in infrastructure repair works.
