The tender, classified under construction work for highways, has a total estimated value of £17,000,000, and the tender period ends on 21st July 2017. The contract is set to commence on 29th September 2017 and is expected to conclude by 16th April 2019. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, encouraging broad participation. This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, especially for construction firms and contractors with expertise in highway infrastructure and civil engineering. Companies specialising in road construction, traffic signal systems, and pedestrian/cycling pathway enhancements would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Additionally, providers with experience in working near residential and retail areas, and those capable of handling environmental considerations such as tree and hedgerow removals, could find their services in demand throughout the execution of this project. ## Notice Construction of a series of 5 junction improvements along the western side of Yeovil between Thorne Lane and Lysander Road, together with the upgrading of 350 m of foot path to a cycleway and provision of 600 m of new footway. The affected route forms 1 of the main arterial routes around the western side of Yeovil and provides an element of an important link between the South Coast and the motorway network. The works will be in close proximity to residential areas as well as retail shopping facilities. The site also runs alongside the Leonardo Helicopters Airfield. The works include the provision of a number of retaining walls together with a number of traffic signal control installations and the creation/improvement of a number of cycle/walking routes. Site clearance will include the removal of a number of trees and associated hedgerows, together with some small sections of existing walling.
