## Summary

Bristol City Council is procuring refurbishment works for the Redcliffe Bascule Bridge, with an estimated value of £2,300,000. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender period concluded on 31st July 2020. The contract, which falls under the construction category for bridges and tunnels, will commence on 28th September 2020 and is expected to be completed by 29th January 2022. Located in the South West of England, this project seeks to enhance various bridge functionalities, including mechanical and electrical systems, and includes significant civil engineering works.
