Summary of the contracting process

North Yorkshire Council is spearheading a public procurement planning process for the supply of FRP footbridges, referenced under ID 074386-2026 and ID 074375-2026. The focus is on the construction and engineering design services related to footbridges within the United Kingdom, specifically in the UKE2 region. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a market engagement notice published on 5th August 2026. A crucial milestone in this process is scheduled for 19th August 2026, marking the deadline for supplier engagement. The intended contract period is slated from 1st January 2027 to 31st December 2027, with a total estimated value of £108,000 gross (£90,000 net value). The procurement falls under the goods and works category, with careful consideration for SMEs to compete.

This procurement process offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in bridge construction, engineering design services, and related supply activities. The nature of this engagement is particularly suited for SMEs capable of offering innovative and feasible solutions for constructing three FRP footbridges. Vendors have the opportunity to influence the drafting of future tenders by participating in the current market engagement, which could open doors for business expansion and establish a crucial partnership with a public authority like North Yorkshire Council. Engaging in this tender process not only provides financial growth potential but also enhances industry reputation through participation in significant regional infrastructure projects.
