## Summary

Durham County Council is currently overseeing the Earthworks Contract for A1 Junction 61 Improvement Works, a project classified under construction work. The tender period for this open procurement process ended on 10 April 2019, and it has been awarded, with the contract period commencing on 17 June 2019 and concluding on 2 December 2019. The location for this project is in the North East region of the United Kingdom, specifically aiming to enhance traffic flow and pedestrian pathways at the A1 Junction 61 roundabout.

This contract presents significant opportunities for construction firms, especially those focusing on earthworks and infrastructure improvement projects. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to consider bidding, as they may find the requirements manageable and potentially benefit from subcontracting opportunities with larger companies. Companies specialised in earthmoving equipment, granular fill sourcing, and related construction services could find this project particularly advantageous for business growth.

## Notice

Earthworks - A haul road will be the first phase of the works to be undertaken. Following implementation of the proposed haul road the works will be to form the new embankment entirely from imported granular fill. The proposed works are to provide additional running lanes and amended/new footway and cycleway at key points on the A1 Junction 61 roundabout. The new lanes will be formed by extending the existing embankment to the south of the junction, creating a widened crest to support the new running lanes/footway and cycleway.
