## Summary

Shropshire Council is seeking a main contractor for the construction of the Shrewsbury North West Relief Road, an ambitious project designed to improve road infrastructure in the West Midlands region. This project involves constructing a single carriageway road with bridges across the River Severn and the Shrewsbury-Chester railway line, connecting two key roundabouts in Shrewsbury. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with the contract period expected to begin on 10 January 2025 and conclude by 24 September 2027. The tender period ends on 8 June 2024, and the project falls under the 'Construction work for highways, roads' category, valued at £110 million.

This tender presents significant opportunities for medium and large-scale construction firms with experience in infrastructure development.

The strategic significance of the relief road in Shrewsbury might also be appealing to companies looking to establish a footprint in the transportation industry. Interested parties should contact Shropshire Council for further engagement and bidding details.
