## Summary

City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council procured Stage 1 works for the Steeton and Silsden Active Travel Corridor Scheme: development and determination of the Full Business Case for a proposed foot and cycling bridge walkway. The scheme is intended to overcome the A629 barrier between Steeton and Silsden, improving walking and cycling access to town centres, Steeton and Silsden Station, Airedale Hospital, education, employment and services. It also supports future housing growth, safer active travel, improved air quality and decarbonisation through reduced car use. The wider project is funded by the West Yorkshire Combined Authority through the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement. Delivery is associated with Steeton and Silsden in West Yorkshire, with the procurement classified as footbridge construction work and categorised as works.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. It used a selective restricted procedure. The tender deadline was 23 September 2025 at 11:00. Jackson Civil Engineering Group Limited was awarded the Stage 1 contract on 16 April 2026 for £100,000, with a contract period from 1 September 2026 to 31 December 2027. The award is active. Stage 2 works are subject to approval from the West Yorkshire Combined Authority; if the price exceeds the Full Business Case budget, the project may not proceed. The requirement was treated as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The recorded award concerns one supplier and one Stage 1 scope; no separate lot awards are stated.

This award indicates demand from Bradford Council for specialist civil engineering capability covering active-travel infrastructure and footbridge projects, including the development and determination of a Full Business Case before construction proceeds. The selected supplier was a large civil engineering business, so future competitors would need credible capacity to manage council-led infrastructure work and the technical, commercial and governance requirements associated with a major bridge and walkway scheme. Relevant experience should include footbridge construction, interfaces with existing roads such as the A629, pedestrian and cycling access, safety, transport connectivity and decarbonisation objectives. Businesses should also be able to develop robust business-case evidence, support funding approvals and work with the Council and West Yorkshire Combined Authority. The route used was a restricted procedure, indicating that prior selection capability is important.

## Notice
