## Summary

The Norwich City Council is currently seeking a consultant through an open procurement process for the project titled "Engineering Design Brief for Bridge and Abutment design Colney-Bowthorpe link." This tender focuses on civil engineering consultancy services, specifically for assessing the feasibility and providing detailed designs for a bridge across the River Yare, which is located in the East of England. The tender period concludes on 18th January 2016, with the contract expected to start on 2nd February 2016 and run until 31st August 2016. The estimated value of this contract is £20,000.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the engineering and consultancy sectors.

Engaging in this project could lead to future opportunities in related infrastructure developments, thereby promoting growth and expansion within these industries.

## Notice

Norwich City Council requires the services of a consultant. The consultant will be required to provide an engineering design service to assess the feasibility, options and subsequently provide the detailed design for the construction of a bridge and bridge abutments with a design working life of 120 years and a service life of 25 plus years across the River Yare at Colney (co-ordinates 61796 307960). The consultant will also be required to undertake a flood risk assessment (FRA). The detailed plans and FRA will form part of a planning application to be submitted April 2016. The construction of the bridge would follow on from the planning permissions and any necessary site clearance work. The timing of the construction project is initially programmed for late summer early autumn 2016 but may, due to various constraints be summer /autumn 2017.
