## Summary

Halton Borough Council has completed the award stage of a direct procurement process for pre-construction activities at Runcorn Shopping City North Busway in England. This initiative, valued at £26,133, falls under the industry category of consultative engineering and construction services. The contract was awarded to Balfour Beatty Civil Engineering Ltd, starting on 9th June 2025 and concluding on 1st August 2025. The process was initiated to determine the size, scope, and cost of larger planned works. The official award notice was published on 20th June 2025, following the tender closing date on 6th June 2025.

The contract offers significant opportunities for businesses providing engineering and construction services, particularly those skilled in pre-construction consultations. As the process utilised a direct award method, competitors should focus on building strong relationships with local authorities for similar opportunities in the future. This tender is particularly suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) looking to engage with public sector contracts to facilitate business growth. The successful collaboration with a large firm like Balfour Beatty Civil Engineering Ltd also sets a precedent for future procurements in the region.
