## Summary

The procurement process for the "C005PC St Botolph's Circus" project involved Essex County Council as the buyer and Jackson Civil Engineering Limited as the supplier. This project, classified under the construction industry (CPV code 44000000), encompasses significant public realm improvements at St Botolph's Circus in Colchester, England. The procurement phase has reached the award stage, with the contract start date on 10th June 2026 and ending on 17th July 2028. The total value of the contract is £7,185,203.14 GBP. The award was published on 27th July 2026, while the tender process concluded on 26th September 2025.

The St Botolph's Circus project offers extensive opportunities for businesses involved in urban development and civil engineering, particularly those specialising in public infrastructure improvements. The contract focuses on enhancing connectivity and urban safety while promoting economic growth in the Colchester area. While this specific project does not have provisions for SMEs or VCSEs, larger construction firms with expertise in areas such as traffic signal installations, street lighting, and urban planning are well-suited to participate in similar future opportunities arising from Essex County Council's procurement endeavours.

## Notice

The scheme comprises significant public realm improvements to the existing St Botolph's Circus in Colchester, and associated highway works, including new at-grade crossings for active travel models and the removal from use of the existing three subways / underpasses, referred to as the Proposed Scheme. St Botolph's Circus is located to the south of Colchester city centre at the junction of Southway (A134) to the west, Magdalen Street (A134) to the east, Mersea Road (B1025) to the south, and St Botolph's Street to the north. The site functions as a large 'gateway' junction, leading to the city centre.
