This project, categorised under construction work, involves specialised tasks to restore the Grade II* listed structure connecting the mainland to Birnbeck Island. The procurement was conducted under an open procedure and has concluded with an award to J T Mackley & Co Ltd. The tender saw its award stage completed as of 25 April 2025, with contracts slated to begin on 4 November 2025 and run through to 28 May 2027. The endeavour is fully grant-funded to a budget of £19,781,538, and site visits were arranged for prospective bidders throughout February 2025. The tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in marine and heritage construction work, given the project's focus on marine environment expertise and structural heritage experience. Firms with capabilities in complex construction and infrastructure repair, particularly larger enterprises, are well-suited to compete for such projects, considering the expertise required and the capped budget funded by grants. Despite the procurement not prioritising SMEs or VCSEs, it presents substantial growth potential for established construction companies capable of handling comprehensive marine and listed building projects. ## Notice North Somerset Council is procuring works to restore the Birnbeck Pier Structure, connecting the mainland to the Birnbeck Island.
