UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Tewkesbury Borough Council is seeking a contractor to design and deliver repairs, refurbishment or replacement of Pennylands Footbridge in Winchcombe. The work covers site surveys and investigations; structural, geotechnical, hydrological and ecological assessments; design development; bank stabilisation and foundation works; bridge works; drainage, surfacing and safety features; traffic management; and associated documentation. This is a construction project with a full design-and-build scope, rather than a supply-only requirement. The successful contractor will carry out the work at the existing footbridge in Winchcombe, Gloucestershire, under NEC3 Engineering and Construction Contract terms.

The council invited offers through an open competition, and the process reached the tender stage. The submission deadline was 2 November 2026 at 09:00; questions were due by 9 October 2026 at 12:00. The stated contract period runs from 16 November 2026 to 15 February 2027. The estimated value is £200,000 excluding VAT (£240,000 including VAT). The procurement is arranged as one lot. Tenders are assessed on price, quality and social value: price carries 50% of the score, quality 40% and social value 10%. Electronic submission is allowed through the council’s supplier portal.

This opportunity is suited to a contractor able to take responsibility for both engineering design and construction on an existing bridge. Relevant capability includes bridge inspection and assessment, structural and geotechnical engineering, hydrology, ecology, bank stabilisation, foundations, bridge repair or replacement, drainage, surfacing and safety works. Suppliers will need to coordinate surveys and investigations with design development, construction, traffic management and project documentation. The broad scope favours firms with access to the range of specialist skills needed across these disciplines, whether in-house or through delivery partners. The work is delivered under NEC3 Engineering and Construction Contract terms, so experience managing design-and-build construction contracts on that basis is commercially relevant. Quality and social value contribute substantially to the evaluation alongside price.
