## Summary

The Bedford Borough Council has recently concluded the procurement process for the "Manton Lane Footbridge" project, which involved the design and construction of a new footbridge with a clear width of 2 metres and a main span of approximately 23 metres, along with approach stairs at each end. This public works contract is classified under the construction industry, specifically related to bridge construction. The contract was awarded to Ryebridge Construction Ltd on 6th December 2019 and is valued at approximately £488,924.60, following an open procurement method. The construction period commenced on the same date and is set to conclude by 31st March 2021, with the tender period closing on 22nd November 2019.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for construction companies, particularly those that specialise in bridge and infrastructure works. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in construction, especially footing and steel bridge design, could find this an excellent opportunity to engage with public sector projects and expand their portfolio. Given the recent completion status of the contract, businesses should also be vigilant for upcoming tenders related to similar projects in the Bedford area or elsewhere that may arise as part of continuous infrastructure development efforts.
