The procurement process is currently at the planning stage, with key activities aimed at developing a strategy to deliver a new distributor road that will facilitate housing development in Chippenham. A public consultation is anticipated to conclude by 30th April 2021, after which a decision on the preferred route will be made. An informational webinar is scheduled for 18th February 2021, intended for potential suppliers to engage and provide feedback on the procurement strategy. Interested parties must express their intent to participate by 17th February 2021. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in major highways infrastructure contracts, particularly those experienced in construction and civil engineering. Companies that can provide full-service capabilities, including road construction, utilities installation, and environmental considerations, will find this project particularly relevant. The secure funding of £75 million from the Housing Infrastructure Fund also highlights the commitment to this project, making it a valuable prospect for contractors looking to expand their portfolio in the public sector. ## Notice Future Chippenham Distributor Road Early Contractor Involvement. Wiltshire Council is in the process of developing a procurement strategy to deliver the Future Chippenham Distributor Road. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Future Chippenham Distributor Road Early Contractor Involvement. Wiltshire Council is in the process of developing a procurement strategy to deliver the Future Chippenham Distributor Road. The Council has secured PS75m of Housing Infrastructure Fund (HiF) from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government to support the delivery of a new distributor road to the east and south of Chippenham that will unlock land to support housing development. The road will be routed to the south and east of Chippenham, running from the A350 Lackham roundabout in the south, across the A4, to the western edge of the Rawlings Green/Summix development site, where it will join a new bridge over the Great Western Railway Line. An additional link road is included to connect the new distributor road to Pewsham Way. A number of structures are required including viaduct bridges carrying the road over the River Avon and associated flood zones in two locations, one to the north of Lackham College and one at the eastern edge of the Rawlings Green development site. It is envisaged that the single carriageway all-purpose distributor road and link road will be designed to urban geometry standards and include adjacent cycle and pedestrian routes, sustainable drainage systems, street lighting at new junctions, landscaping and environmental mitigation. New utility supplies to serve future residential developments are included within the road corridor. There are three proposed routes which are subject to public consultation, with total road route lengths ranging from 7.8km to 9km. A decision on the preferred route will be made after the conclusion of the public consultation.
