This procurement falls under the industry category of 'Bridge renewal construction work' (CPV code 45221119) and is part of their ongoing operation across several key ports in the UK. The contracting authority has implemented a phased procurement approach with key stages including a market research phase initiated in September 2023, a tender process beginning in November 2023, and concluding with the award of the contract to Taziker Industrial Ltd in January 2025.
