## Summary

The public procurement process conducted by the London Borough of Bexley was aimed at replacing bridge bearings and expansion joints on the Harrow Manorway Abbey Wood Flyover, spanning sections 1 to 5. Categorised under the 'works' industry, this project addressed critical infrastructure elements and required comprehensive design and execution. The procurement was conducted as an open competition below the threshold, adhering to the UK public procurement directive as laid out in legal basis 2023/54. The contract, valued at GBP 891,301 net, with a gross amount of GBP 1,069,561.20, was formally awarded to EKSPAN LIMITED.
