## Summary

The A303 Sparkford to Ilchester Stage 6 Parapet Fencing contract is being managed by Galliford Try on behalf of Highways England, aiming to enhance the A303 corridor in Somerset by constructing a new dual lane carriageway. The procurement process is currently in the Award stage following a public tender method, which has an end date for submissions set for 28th May 2020. The project is expected to commence construction in October 2022 and conclude by December 2022, pending the approval of the Development Consent Order that was anticipated in early Spring 2020.

This contract represents significant opportunities for businesses involved in construction, particularly those specialising in fencing components, installation works, and related services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in safety fencing, such as parapet and wire-mesh systems, would be well-suited to compete for this subcontracting opportunity. Interested parties should engage promptly due to the deadlines for expressions of interest and tender submissions, as indicated by Galliford Try's Managing Quantity Surveyor, Adrian Paddock.
