## Summary

The procurement process relates to the construction of the Colley Lane Southern Access Road, initiated by Somerset County Council. The project, set in Bridgwater, is classified under the works category, specifically involving bridge and highway construction. This active tender, published on 25 July 2017, follows an open procurement method and has a contract value of £15 million. The tender period concluded on 4 September 2017, and the contract is expected to run from 29 September 2017 to 29 September 2019.

This project presents significant opportunities for construction firms, particularly those specialising in civil engineering, high-quality road, and bridge construction. Companies with expertise in drainage, landscaping, and working with challenging materials may find this tender particularly advantageous, as the project requires innovative solutions due to the unique geographical challenges posed by the former brick works site. Interested bidders should possess the necessary capacity to handle substantial contracts of this scale and complexity.

## Notice

Construction of a new 950m-long access road to serve the Colley Lane Industrial Estate in Bridgwater, including the construction of two new bridges; one an in-situ concrete arch structure over the Bridgwater & Taunton Canal and the second a 52 m long single span steel composite bridge over the tidal River Parrett. The proposals also include the provision of four retaining walls. The carriageway is to be 7.3m wide with 3.5m wide of footway / cycleway on each side. The route of the new link road crosses the site of a former brick works, where the clay extraction pit has been filled with cellophane waste. The approach embankment to the new bridge over the Bridgwater & Taunton Canal will need to be constructed over this. Works associated with the project will also include the provision of drainage, alterations to Statutory Undertakers' apparatus and the provision of new landscaping
