UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Peterborough City Council is procuring works to replace a bridge at Eye Green Nature Reserve in Peterborough. The requirement covers dismantling and removing the existing bridge, then designing, constructing and installing its replacement. This is a bridge and footbridge construction project, including associated design and site works. Delivery is at Eye Green Nature Reserve, Peterborough. The council is seeking a contractor able to take responsibility for the complete replacement scheme, from removal of the current structure through to completion and installation of the new bridge. The opportunity is therefore relevant to civil engineering contractors, bridge specialists and construction businesses with design-and-build capability for pedestrian bridge projects.

The procurement has reached tender: Peterborough City Council invited offers through an open, below-threshold competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 23 September 2026 at 4:00 pm, and bids by 30 September 2026 at noon. The contract period is from 1 November 2026 to 1 January 2027. The estimated value is £100,000 excluding VAT, or £120,000 including VAT. There is one lot. It is evaluated on price, provided the bid meets the minimum quality threshold. Bidders must answer four quality questions and achieve at least 65% for quality before their price is evaluated. Among bids meeting that threshold, the lowest price is ranked as successful. Electronic submission is permitted.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized enterprises as well as established bridge and civil engineering contractors. Suppliers are well placed if they can design, dismantle, remove, construct and install a replacement pedestrian bridge as one coordinated project. Relevant experience is likely to include bridge or footbridge construction, temporary works and the practical management of removal and installation activities, although the procurement information does not prescribe particular accreditations. The requirement offers a defined, relatively small-scale design-and-build project rather than a long-term services arrangement. Businesses able to demonstrate a credible technical approach through the four quality questions, meet the 65% quality threshold and then submit a competitive price are the natural competitors.
