Summary of the contracting process

Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park Authority is seeking a contractor to design and construct a new footbridge at Ardleish, opposite Ardlui, on the West Highland Way at East Loch Lomond. This is a civil engineering and construction works opportunity for a supplier able to deliver a complete footbridge project, including design and construction. The requirement covers one project location in the East Loch Lomond area. The contract uses an SBCC Design and Build form and includes associated activity where required. Community benefits and a subcontracting clause form part of the requirement, with the detailed expectations set out in the tender information.

The procurement reached tender: the authority invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The deadline for bids was 21 September 2026 at 10:00 UTC, when bids were also scheduled to be opened and the award period was due to start. The contract period is 60 days. The published estimated value is £1, although this figure may represent the stated procurement value rather than the likely construction cost. Bids were required in English and had to remain valid for 120 days after the submission deadline. Variants were not allowed. Electronic payment and ordering are available, electronic invoicing is allowed, and the contract is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This opportunity suits civil engineering contractors, bridge specialists and design-and-build firms able to take responsibility for both the design and construction of a new footbridge in a rural national-park setting. Suppliers should be prepared to work within the requirements of an SBCC Design and Build contract and accept 12-year design liability. The work is likely to require coordinated design, construction planning, site delivery and management of any subcontractors. Firms with practical experience of footbridge or related infrastructure projects, environmentally sensitive locations, public access routes and construction logistics in East Loch Lomond would be well placed to compete. The requirement also suits businesses able to propose and deliver the specified community benefits.
