The procurement process concerns the construction works for the inspection, testing, and structural assessment of the Exminster viaduct, overseen by Highways England. The contract, valued at £635,000, falls under the construction industry category, specifically related to architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services. The tender period has concluded, with submissions accepted until 29 March 2019. The contract commenced on 1 April 2019 and is set to conclude on 1 July 2019.
