## Summary

Birmingham City Council has completed the public procurement process for the "Holford Drive, Perry Barr Highway Infrastructure Works" project, concerning improvements to road space and pedestrian access. Tagged as an 'award' and 'contract', this process reached its completion in August 2025, with a start date of 11th August 2025 and an anticipated end date of 10th April 2026. The procurement was executed under an open competition method for an infrastructure project categorised in the construction work for highways and roads. This project aims to enhance infrastructure along Holford Drive and includes significant roadworks, traffic signal upgrades, and pedestrian enhancements in the Birmingham region, specifically around Perry Barr.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in construction, specifically those specialising in highway and roadworks. Companies providing engineering or road safety consultancy services could find this project aligned with their growth strategies. With an active competition already resulting in a contract awarded to McPhillips (Wellington) Limited, a large-scale firm in the sector, small to medium enterprises (SMEs) focusing on specialist subcontracting and supporting infrastructure, such as street lighting or drainage, might find similar future tenders an attractive proposition for expanding their market presence. As the procurement process was managed through an open method, ensuring a fair chance for eligible and capable applicants, firms eager to engage in civic infrastructure projects are encouraged to participate in similar tender opportunities facilitated by Birmingham City Council.
