## Summary

The procurement process for the "Whalley Old Road Roundabout" project was managed by Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council, a sub-central government public authority. This project involves the construction of a new, four-arm roundabout in Blackburn to enhance vehicular access between existing and proposed housing developments. As of June 2026, the procurement stage is complete, having concluded with the award of the contract. The process applied a limited procurement method due to it being below the threshold for open competition. Key dates include the contract's commencement on 15th June 2026 and expected completion by 26th February 2027, with the provision of substantial infrastructure enhancements in the UKD41 region.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in construction, especially those focusing on highways and roads.
