## Summary

The Herefordshire Council has completed the tender process for the first phase of the Hereford Western Bypass, a civil engineering project valued at £1,859,960.73. The project involves a 3.5 km route on the outskirts of the southwest of Hereford and falls under the industry category of construction and civil engineering works. This procurement was conducted using a Two Stage Design & Build process, with the award finalised on 18 May 2026. The contract period began on 1 May 2026 and is expected to conclude by 31 August 2028. This initiative is located in the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for significant growth, especially for large-scale construction firms specialising in design and infrastructure projects. With Herefordshire Council as the buying authority, businesses equipped with the capability to deliver complex civil engineering works and looking to expand their operations in the West Midlands should consider this an advantageous opportunity. The project could further business growth by leveraging partnerships and expertise in design and construction, despite the process being unsuitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs).

## Notice

A further competition process was carried out by Herefordshire Council under Lot 4 of the Pagabo Civils and Infrastructure Framework Agreement. The project is for the Design and Build of the first phase of the Hereford Western Bypass (HWB1) . The route of the proposed HWB1 is approximately 3.5 km in length and is located on the outskirts to the southwest of Hereford. The procurement procedure was undertaken as a Two Stage Design & Build process. This was the tender for Stage One Assessment, to result in an Award for a Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PCSA) to one successful contractor. The successful Contractor will work with the council under the PCSA, with the intention to then award the full Design & Build Contract. This is subject to an affordable Contract Sum and realistic Programme to complete all Works.
