## Summary

Kirklees Council has successfully completed the procurement process for the A638 Dewsbury-Cleckheaton Sustainable Travel Corridor, aimed at enhancing travel methods for bus users, pedestrians, and cyclists in the Yorkshire and the Humber region. This procurement, part of the Civil Works over £4m to £10m South and West framework, was conducted through a selective call-off from the YORCivils3 framework. The project, valued at approximately £6.47 million, engages Esh Construction Ltd as the contractor, with the contract period spanning from 19th May 2025 to 31st March 2026, and an optional extension until 30th September 2026. The industry's primary focus is site preparation work and civil engineering, supporting the transition to more sustainable and shared-mode transport options that will contribute to reduced carbon emissions and better air quality.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for construction firms, particularly those with expertise in civil engineering and infrastructure improvements. The call-off from a framework agreement indicates reliance on proven suppliers with established capabilities, offering potential business growth for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Companies specialising in sustainable transport infrastructure, especially those equipped with machinery and operator hire services, will find this an attractive tender aligning with ongoing shifts towards eco-friendly urban development. This initiative not only fortifies existing supplier relationships but also bolsters the regional economy by enhancing connectivity and accessibility, fostering new business prospects in alignment with local environmental goals.
