## Summary

Lancashire County Council recently awarded a contract for the project titled "Skew Bridge, Grimsargh - Bridge Widening Works" under the CPV code 45221100, indicating construction work for bridges. The project, located in the North West of the United Kingdom, involves the widening of the existing Grimsargh Skew Bridge to enable two-way traffic, along with the installation of a signalised pedestrian crossing. The procurement process, which began with an open procedure below the threshold, led to the contract being awarded to AE Yates Limited on 23 April 2025. The contract period stretches from 24 February 2025 to 30 September 2025, with the tender initially published on 13 December 2024 and the tender period closing on 14 February 2025.

This contracting opportunity, valued at £1,079,112, presents significant growth potential for SMEs specialising in bridge construction and related infrastructure works. Given the requirement to design both temporary and permanent works to align with the existing highways structure, engineering firms with expertise in civil and structural engineering are well-suited to benefit. Their involvement not only boosts business prospects but also supports regional development by enhancing traffic flow and safety near the primary school adjacent to the project site. This project exemplifies the type of work that could elevate a firm's profile within the public procurement marketplace.

## Notice

"Grimsargh Skew Bridge is a single span reinforced concrete structure which was previously strengthened in 2001. Currently, the width of the main bridge restricts traffic to a single lane width, restricting flow of vehicles. There are steel pedestrian footbridges on both sides (east & west) of the bridge. The eastern footbridge is relatively new and will be retained. A scheme has been developed to widen the structure to enable two-way traffic for vehicles and therefore improve traffic flows. The works substantially consist of the demolition of the western footbridge, the widening of the existing main bridge and the installation of a signalised pedestrian crossing to the north of the bridge, adjacent to the nearby primary school. The design of both the temporary and permanent works required for the bridge widening is proposed to be designed by the contractor to match the fixed highways alignment designed by LCC. The full scope of this project is contained at ITT Appendix 5 and the associated contractual documents. Please ensure that you read all documentation in the preparation of your Tender and should you have any queries on the contents, please raise a clarification request in the manner described at paragraph 2.7 within the timescales outlined with paragraph 3.1." Additional information: "The full tender pack including the ITT document outlining requirements, the specification and terms and conditions can be downloaded from the LCC isupplier portal. Returns must be submitted via the portal."
