Summary of the contracting process

Wrexham County Borough Council procured the supply and installation of the Esless Lane Cycleway Bridge. This is a construction works requirement covering the provision of a bridge for a cycleway, including its installation. The work is to be delivered in Wrexham, within the council’s area. The procurement was run by the council as the public-sector buyer. It is a focused civil engineering and construction opportunity rather than a general supply contract, and would be relevant to contractors with experience in bridge construction, cycle infrastructure, site installation and associated works. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that the council considered participation by smaller specialist organisations appropriate for this type of project.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded on 21 July 2026, then signed on 5 August 2026. It was a below-threshold open competition, with bids submitted electronically through the council’s e-tendering system. The tender deadline was 9 July 2026 at 17:00, and the enquiry deadline was 25 June 2026 at 12:00. One lot was awarded to Owen Environmental. The estimated lot value was £200,000 excluding VAT (£240,000 including VAT); the awarded and contracted value was £191,135.71 excluding VAT (£229,362.85 including VAT). The contract runs from 5 August 2026 to 1 October 2026. Evaluation gave quality 60% and price 40%. The selection requirements were set out in the tender pack.

This award shows demand from Wrexham County Borough Council for a specialist contractor able to supply and install cycleway bridge infrastructure within a short, defined construction period. A credible future competitor would need practical civil engineering and construction capability, experience delivering bridge or cycle-route works, and the capacity to manage manufacture or supply, site preparation, installation and completion as one coordinated package. The successful supplier, Owen Environmental, was recorded as an SME, so the requirement demonstrates that a smaller specialist business could satisfy the council’s expectations. Quality was more important than price in the evaluation, indicating that evidence of technical competence, delivery planning, workmanship, risk control and relevant project experience would be important when this type of requirement is considered again.
