## Summary

Devon County Council has awarded a contract titled "Mill Street Footbridge Replacement" under the category of works related to footbridge construction. This procurement process involves the design, manufacture, and installation of a new FRP footbridge, replacing the existing timber structure in Sidmouth, Devon. The contract was signed on 2nd April 2026, and the work is scheduled to be completed by 31st October 2026. The procurement method was limited competition, below the threshold, focusing on providing a high level of specific expertise. Of note is the buyer's location in Exeter, and the execution site in Sidmouth, which falls under the region UKK43 in the United Kingdom.

This opportunity is ideal for businesses specialising in footbridge construction work, particularly those experienced in working with Fibre-Reinforced Polymer materials. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in civil engineering and infrastructure projects stand to benefit from such contracts, as demonstrated by the successful award to Polydeck Limited, a Leeds-based SME. Companies that provide innovative and cost-effective solutions in the sector will likely thrive by participating in similar tenders, where quality and technical proficiency are paramount.
