## Summary

The procurement process for the project titled "Weston Road Active Travel Bridge" was managed by Cheshire East Council, a responsible authority located in Crewe, England. This contract was awarded on the 14th of April 2025 and concerns the transport systems consultancy services to be performed in the North West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement falls under an "award" stage due to its completion and was directly awarded to Network Rail Infrastructure Limited via an Exemption method because they were identified as the sole supplier capable of fulfilling the regulatory requirements necessary for the project, particularly involving a structure over a railway. The contract is valued at £25,318 and will be executed from 24th April 2025 to 31st March 2026.

This procurement process offers limited opportunities for business growth, primarily benefiting large-scale enterprises that have the capacity to meet specific regulatory and technical requirements outlined by the buyer, Cheshire East Council. Since Network Rail Infrastructure Limited was directly awarded the contract through an exemption, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) did not have the opportunity to bid on this particular tender, showcasing the specificity and niche expertise required for such projects in the transport systems consultancy sector.

## Notice

Cheshire East Council are looking to promote a structure over a railway and subsequently, Network Rail regulatory input is required. This contract was awarded directly to Network Rail via an Exemption as Network Rail are the sole supplier capable of providing these services due to the regulatory requirements.
