The project involves the construction of a 40m long bridge to create a safer environment for pedestrians, cyclists, and traffic. The contract period is from April 1, 2024, to April 1, 2025, with the procurement method being a selective process. The tender deadline was on December 18, 2023, and the project falls under the construction work industry category in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. This tender for the construction of York's Bridge presents growth opportunities for contractors specialising in construction, civil engineering, and works infrastructure. Companies experienced in bridge construction and renovation projects, especially those with a track record in delivering complex infrastructure projects within specified timelines, would be well-suited to compete. The project offers a chance for businesses to showcase their expertise in delivering sustainable and safe infrastructure solutions, aligning with the Council's vision for a more efficient public highway system. ## Notice Walsall Council is looking for a suitably qualified contractor to complete the construction of a new replacement York's Bridge on Norton Road, Pelsall, which spans the Wyrley and Essington Canal by the Fingerpost public house. Background of the existing York's Bridge The existing historic York's Bridge dates back to the mid 1800's. Its brick arch construction, poor alignments and lack of footways make it unsuitable for modern traffic and unsafe for pedestrians and cyclists. The bridge structure has suffered over recent decades and the bridge is currently the subject of a 10 tonne weight limit. If nothing is done the bridge will continue to weaken to the point where closure to all road traffic might have to be considered. The Council has a statutory duty to maintain the safe and efficient operation of the public highway for use by a range of vehicles and is obliged to look at a range of options, including the strengthening of bridges which it does not own, (the existing bridge is owned by the Canal & River Trust), and the construction of new bridges. Several options for addressing the problems at York's Bridge have been considered, including strengthening of the existing bridge. It has been concluded that only the construction of a new bridge can address all of the issues, whilst retaining the existing historic York's Bridge The new York's Bridge The construction of a new bridge aims to create a healthier and safer environment for people to walk and cycle and traffic moving through the area. The new bridge will be constructed to the east side of the existing bridge and to realign Norton Road to the east. The bridge is 40m long and will carry two-way traffic on a 7.3m wide carriageway with a 2m wide footway on the west side. There is 2m minimum headroom between the bridge and towpath and 3.1m minimum between the bridge and canal. A small amount (2,465m2) of common land is required in order to construct the new bridge which is less than 0.01% of the total common area. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7ba04d69-ca58-4abc-9bfb-71f5b7bd4349 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Mar 2024 | | Submission deadline | 18 Dec 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 5 Mar 2024 | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2024 - 1 Apr 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WALSALL COUNCIL E-TENDERING | | Locality | WEST MIDLANDS | | Post town | Walsall | | Postcode | WS1 1TP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG38 Walsall | | Local authority | Walsall | | Electoral ward | St Matthew's | | Westminster constituency | Walsall and Bloxwich | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | MCPHILLIPS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work - 45200000 - Works for complete or part construction and civil engineering work - 45220000 - Engineering works and construction works ## Release History - 5 Mar 2024 at 08:43 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7ba04d69-ca58-4abc-9bfb-71f5b7bd4349 - 5 Mar 2024 at 08:43 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7ba04d69-ca58-4abc-9bfb-71f5b7bd4349 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7ba04d69-ca58-4abc-9bfb-71f5b7bd4349 5th March 2024 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.walsall.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
