This project involves the development of a 5.7km single carriageway road in the North West of England, alongside significant landscaping and environmental works. The procurement is at the tender stage, with responses due by 21 August 2017, and the contract is projected to commence on 2 July 2018, lasting until 12 June 2025. The procurement method is selective, following a restricted procedure which involves a Selection Questionnaire followed by an Invitation to Tender for shortlisted suppliers, with a total estimated value of £58 million. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for construction and engineering firms, particularly those experienced in road design and with capabilities in environmental mitigation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as five suppliers will be shortlisted for the next stage of the process, enhancing the chances for emerging companies to compete for significant public works contracts. Businesses focused on civil engineering and related services should consider this opportunity to expand their portfolio and contribute to infrastructure development in the region. ## Notice The proposed A536 Congleton Link Road is a 5.7km long, 9.3m wide single carriageway road running to the north of Congleton between the A534 Sandbach Road in the west and the A536 Macclesfield Road in the northeast. The mainline has five 50m and one 60m diameter radii roundabouts including junctions with the A54 and A34. The link road passes beneath Chelford Road in an area subject to a high water table.

There are two other road bridge crossings and two underpasses. The scheme also has approximately 3.5km of realigned or new local roads and significant amounts of landscaping and environmental mitigation works to accommodate Great Crested Newts,Bats and Ancient Woodland.
