This significant infrastructure project, categorised under "Construction work for highways, roads," includes constructing bridges over the River Severn and the Shrewsbury-Chester railway line. However, as of 30th April 2026, the procurement process was marked as complete, but no contract was awarded as the tender was discontinued. Initially launched in 2024, with planned procurement through a competitive procedure with negotiation, the contract period was envisaged from January 2025 to September 2027. This process involved Shropshire Council, a regional authority based in Shrewsbury, UK, with intentions to appoint a main contractor through a selective procurement method. While unfortunately discontinued, this project presented numerous opportunities for businesses, particularly in construction and civil engineering sectors, focused on large-scale infrastructure and road construction. The procurement sought a contractor with expertise in delivering complex engineering solutions, including bridge and road construction. Eligible businesses had to demonstrate technical proficiency and economic capacity, adhering to quality and cost criteria. Firms with a strong track record in similar projects would have been well-suited, offering potential growth through engagement in a multi-million-pound project providing key regional infrastructure development. ## Notice Shropshire Council wishes to appoint a main contractor to construct the Shrewsbury North West Relief Road ("NWRR Project").
