## Summary

The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council has awarded a contract under a direct procurement method for the project titled "Virgin Media utilities, diversions and infrastructure changes due to construction of Phase 2 of the West Bradford Cycle Superhighway scheme". This procurement falls under the industry category of construction work for highways and roads, specifically within the region UKE41, United Kingdom, and is part of the works procurement category. The procurement process has reached the contract award stage as of 5th June 2026, with the contract period starting the same day and scheduled to end on 20th April 2028, with possible extension. The contract was awarded to VIRGIN MEDIA BUSINESS LIMITED, owing to exclusive rights to undertake the necessary equipment alterations.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for organisations experienced in large-scale infrastructure projects, particularly those involving utility diversions and road construction. While the primary contract has been awarded directly to Virgin Media Business Limited due to intellectual property and exclusive rights considerations, this project may provide subcontracting opportunities for specialised firms capable of supporting infrastructure changes and collaborating on large public sector projects. Businesses specialising in construction and telecommunications with a track record of delivering on high-value contracts could benefit from engaging in future phases or similar projects initiated by the council.
