The Isle of Wight Council is currently at the tender stage for the "England Coastal Paths IOW2" project, focusing on the construction of a coastal path segment from Wootton Bridge to Culver. This initiative is part of the King Charles III England Coast Path, aiming to establish a 2,700-mile National Trail. The project falls under the construction work industry category, with a procurement method of open competition. Relevant key dates include the enquiry period ending on 27 March 2026 and the tender period closing on 2 April 2026.
