## Summary

The procurement process for the Exceat Bridge Replacement Scheme was conducted by East Sussex County Council, based in Lewes, England. Jacobs UK Ltd was awarded the contract to provide design and project management support during the construction phase. The project falls under the industry category of architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services, with delivery focused on the South East region of the United Kingdom. This contract was awarded on 23rd October 2025 and is set to run from 1st July 2025 to 30th April 2028. The procurement method was a selective tender, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement through the Crown Commercial Services Construction Professional Services Framework (RM 6165). The award stage has been reached, with the process marked as complete.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses involved in architectural and engineering services to expand their portfolio by engaging in high-profile infrastructure projects. Although the tender was selectively awarded to Jacobs UK Ltd, similar projects might offer collaborative opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Businesses with expertise in NEC 4 contracts and those able to work within predefined budget and framework pricing guidelines could benefit from such projects. The scheme illustrates potential for expanding business services into government infrastructure projects, especially for companies focused on long-term project management and consulting services.
