This initiative invites interested parties to participate in a supplier engagement exercise for the removal and disposal of a pedestrian bridge near the Swimming Pool in Tonbridge. The Council seeks early technical and commercial insights from potential suppliers to determine the best procurement strategy and contract structure. The deadline for expressing interest and attending the site visit is scheduled for 22 May 2026, with the contract period anticipated to start on 1 September 2026 and concluded by 31 December 2026. This procurement presents a robust opportunity for businesses specialising in construction work, specifically in bridge construction and removal. Companies that can provide expertise in pedestrian footbridge disposal, as well as technical and commercial consultation, will be well-suited to compete in this tender. As the process is still in the planning stage, engaging in the supplier exercise could offer businesses the chance to influence the direction of the project's execution and familiarise themselves with the procurement expectations of a public authority under sub-central government classification. ## Notice Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council (TMBC) is inviting interested parties to take part in a supplier engagement exercise for the removal and disposal of an existing pedestrian bridge located in Tonbridge, near to the Swimming Pool.
